I can attest to the fact that the 3/32" drill bit fix works! I just tried this on my GE Profile Refrigerator copper tubing saddle valve (and the real takeaway here is that this is a saddle valve...

Well, you are correct in that when the water shoots out of the top, it can make its way under the lid and down the back. That's why I was asking if it was normal.

It's the initial surge of...

Hi, I just did some maintenance on my American Standard toilet. I replaced the Flapper assembly. While in the tank, so to speak, I did notice that the fill valve assembly shoots a good bit of water...

I appreciate the response(s). When you said "Get new water supply and replace it", you're talking about the whole hose assembly, right? And do you think this is a strictly a proprietary Kohler part...

I have the Kohler model in the title... the 12172. Today, the metal-braided supply hose on the hot water side started leaking badly. It's definitely leaking at the top where it meets the faucet,...

I just wanted to chime in with how things worked out for me. I finally got around to ordering a diverter assembly for this faucet, and lo and behold it worked like a charm! Now I have full use of...

Thanks, Dan. Good stuff. I'm waiting to do this project when it gets cooler and less humid, to help with the drying process. There's no exhaust fan in this room (lol, many "I wouldn't go in there...

Ok, Bryan. Please report back on how replacing the diverter valve worked out.

My only update here is that ever since I took the assembly apart and cleaned the "cartridge" while flushing water...

Thanks for the help!

The wall tiles are actually about 5 3/4" square. There's nothing different about the tiles that are on the wall vs. where they meet the floor tiles. No rounded edges, etc. They are the same...

Thanks for the reply and useful information. I'm getting from your comments that the shower stall pan, if properly installed, would provide for any drainage of water that seeped through joints...

I live in an apartment building, so there is no water heater, per se, to cut the water flow off at. And I don't see a master set of water valves in my apartment.

Anyway, the latest update is...

I live in an apartment building (I own the apartment I live in). We remodeled the bathroom when we moved in three years ago, and put in a glass enclosed shower stall where a tub once lived.

The...

Ok, here's what I found. First, an annoyance. The hot water valve under the sink never fully shut off all the hot water, no matter how tightly the valve was closed. That limited the amount of time...

Thanks, Tom. I'm at work and won't be able to look into this until later, but here is a Parts page from Kohler (slow to load at times) that has exploded views. Any hints on how to proceed?

Anyone?

We bought a place that has a Kohler "Single Control Kitchen Faucet". It's a "Fairfax" model. Here's a link to the installation guide. Keep in mind we have the unit with the sidespray.
