To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is there no hot water from my Glacier Bay Plumbing Product?
There could be a couple of reasons why you're not getting hot water. The lines might be reversed, or the cartridge could be installed upside down. Try rotating the cartridge 180°. Another possibility is that the balance valve in the cartridge is clogged with debris. In this case, you should clean the bottom of the cartridge.
What to do if there is leaking or dripping from the spout of my Glacier Bay Plumbing Product when the handle is closed?
If you notice leaking or dripping from the spout when the handle is closed, it could be due to several reasons. First, the cartridge might not be properly installed; try reinstalling it. Second, the sealed washer on the cartridge might be out of place; check its position and replace the cartridge if necessary. Lastly, the bonnet nut might not be tight enough; use a wrench to retighten it sufficiently.
What to do if there is no flow or a low water flow from my Glacier bay OSWELL HD873X-1910H Plumbing Product?
If you're experiencing no water flow or low water flow, start by checking if both water supplies are turned on fully. If they are not, turn both water supply valves to the 'on' position. Also, make sure the stop valves are fully turned on. Additionally, the screen filter in the spray head might be blocked. To resolve this, turn off the water supply at the angle valve, unscrew the spray head from the spray hose, and clean the screen filter under running water.
Why is the handle of my Glacier bay OSWELL HD873X-1910H Plumbing Product hard to turn?
If the handle is hard to turn, the bonnet nut might be too tight. Try loosening the bonnet nut and reinstalling it, being careful not to overtighten it.
What to do if the handle of my Glacier Bay Plumbing Product cannot be installed or rubs against the escutcheon?
If the handle cannot be installed or rubs against the escutcheon, it's possible that the valve is installed too far back from the finished wall. You will need to reinstall the valve.
Why does water come out of the tub spout and showerhead at the same time in my Glacier bay OSWELL HD873X-1910H?
If water is coming out of both the tub spout and showerhead simultaneously, several factors could be at play. The pipe used between the valve and the tub spout might not be 1/2 in. IPS, or the copper pipe could be incorrect; change the pipe to the correct type. Also, the distance between the valve and the showerhead might be less than 48 inches; increase this distance to at least 48 inches. A restriction between the valve and the tub spout could also be the cause; remove the tub spout and flush out any debris, and replace any undersized lines or fittings. Finally, the valve might be installed upside down; remove it and reinstall it correctly.
