    Faucet
    I live in an apartment in which I have a no name brand faucet in my kitchen. The copper piece that comes up from underneath is loose. The entire thing moves when I lift the handle to turn the water on. My problem now is that I looked to see if there was some sort of screw underneath that would tighten it and there isn't. I removed the faucet and ball handle and now there are two rubber grommets missing from the inside where the ball rests, there is a plastic, what looks to be like a spacer which I don't know where that should be, and I cannot get it to fit to where water does not leak from both underneath and the faucet itself. The water comes on, but I cannot get it to shut off from the handle itself.

    You have a Delta/Peerless Faucet,(see image). The missing rubber grommets are the seats and springs,(Delta part# 4993). Ask for them at your Delta Dealer. As you can see the faucet has two nuts that secure it to the sink. Tighten them with a basin wrench,See image) Good luck, Tom
