    Shower head leaking
    I installed a new shower/tub and when you turn the water on for the bath the shower head leaks. If you turn it all the way on to hot it stops. Any help whit this problem?

    John, it's a Moen and the model Number L82694 The image on your drawings is number 3. I talk to someone at moen and they told me it was too much water pressure can that be true. Thanks Gary

    Hi Gary,

    Yep high water pressure can cause that problem, check your water pressure it should be 45-60 psi, get a water pressure test gage see the image below, Thanks
