How to fix an American Standard Faucet
In order to fix a leaking American Standard Faucet on a roman tub this is what you have to do. It was installed 4 years ago.
Leaking diverter, remove spout....Ok it worked, the store gave her an incorrect longer stem...I swapped the o-rings. Turn the water on, no leaks until called 40 minutes later and her ceiling is wet. So I look at her instructions sheet the spout shank has O-ring under the tub...Great Impossible to get to!
The second complaint the handles were were opening the wrong way. The instruction says to turn the escutcheon and pull on the handle....Handles seized after 4 years of installation...Great!
So today I repaired the faucet completely as if it was new. All you have to do is cut a hole in the tile skirt and few maneuvers to to get to the shank O-ring.
