    Faucet handles without set screws ?
    Hi
    I installed a new faucet set on my ped. Sink and after a month the two faucets handles began to get loose and can rock back and forth. There are no set screws or ornamental caps hiding set screws. Does anyone know where you go to tighten the faucet handles?

    When you installed the faucet - how did you install the handles ? Were they part of the eschutcheon ? If positive, than remove eschutcheon and look for the screw inside the cup. Otherwise, handles should unscrew from eschutcheons.
