    Delta valve removal/replacement
    :( Hi,
    I am taking off an old single valve delta shower.( For bath and shower.)
    I have the handle off and the plastic nut but can't turn off the cap without fear of breaking the assembly. I see no set screw holding the cover or cap on.
    Ideas?

    Don't worry, apply pressure. You won't break anything. Use Channel Locks. Once it moves a bit, it will hand unscrew...

    Hey Mikey,
    If the cap's #3 and 4 it will unscrew,(see image). More questions? I'm as close as a click. Tom

    Thank you.
    I did get the cap off, but alas I need a plumber to change out the old valve.
    The new Delta assembly came with a different type.
    I did manage to bend the copper tubing some without it leaking.
    Know any plumbers in south NJ?
