    Delta two handle faucet
    I have a Delta two handle knob faucet in my bathroom. It had a very irritating leak so I purchased knew knobs and replacement parts at Lowe's. I replaced everything down the seats and springs... (except I think what's called the stem)

    At first, when I turned the water supply back on, the water was on all the time... So I rearranged the seats and stems a little bit... and then the water would not turn on at all.. So I rearranged again... and now we have just a trickle...

    The bottom of the stem on my faucet is kind of in the shape of a 1/4 moon with a round area where I presume the seat and spring is supposed to line up with...

    Do you have a diagram of how the seats and springs are supposed to line up? The replacement parts appeared to be the same as the originals. Could that be the problem

    Would this be a bath/shower valve or a lavatory valve? Do you have a model number? Regards, Tom
