    TUB water shut off handle installation
    HELP! I need to install handles on water supply shut-offs for the tub before I can sell my place - buyers insist. There are two small bits of pipe sticking out from the wall in the closet in front of the tub. They are straight, about 2 inches, have square ends, heavily painted over. Previous owner left one of those round, flower-like handles hanging over the pipe but it doesn't seem to fit properly and just strips the metal when I try using it. What do I need to do? Remove paint? Is there a screw notched hidden under the paint on the square part?? :confused:

    Inspect the stem shaft and see if it matches the handle hole. Old ones were square so make sure yours match.
