If you're talking about the new fixture, try turning it all the way on and let it run for a sec to flush out and debris that may be lodged in it. if you mean the shut off supplying the fixture, try turning it off tighter with a pair of pliers, but be careful.


Replacement of a bathtub faucet is a big job. It usually takes a pro 2-4 hours to complete that task. If you have the pipe apart and are playing bucket brigade, take a garden hose, cut the end off and slip it over the end of the pipe to divert the water to a drain. A size 16 hose clamp will keep it from slipping off.


Good luck
well im not sure that i know what faucets,are,i am in australia and i can only assume that you mean the washers in your tap that screw down into the hole to stop the water.are you sure your eplaced that one,or did you drop it accidentaly before you put the tap back together? I would be undoing it again and checking it.It could have lodged itself sideways in their preventing it to plug properly.
you can try washers, behind the hot water valve, did you get the right faucets, they come in different sizes. maybe your copper pipe is to short, you might have to change them. I did this kind of work before, and changed everything. copper piping, the walls, and put new tile, came out great. suzuki99@sbcglobal.net
