    Glacier bay hand held shower head combo leaking just bought
    We just got the combo hand held and the shower head model 899 825 says to put on hand tight my husband did and where it connects to the pipe coming out the wall it is leaking where the nut attaches itself. Home depot won't take it back or exchange it. Help
