Replacing the hot water sink valve in the master bath
 |
| The hot water faucet valve leaks through the shaft of the valve when turned about 45 degrees. |
 |
| Will remove the old valve assembly (Price Pfister brand) and replace it. |
 |
| Removed the old assembly. The valve seat area looks ok. |
 |
| Local hardware store had a replacement valve. |
 |
| There's a plastic washer that goes under the valve. Will put some Teflon tape on the threads to seal also. |
 |
| Applied the tape and put the plastic seal on. |
 |
| When starting the repair, the hot water shut off valve was very difficult to turn. Had to work it loose by turning back and forth quite a bit. Though I might have to replace the shut off valve but it worked loose eventually & worked OK. |
 |
| The cold water supply like has corrosion on the metal sheathing. Will have to replace the line soon... (project for another day) |
 |
| Finished replacing the valve. |
 |
| There's quite a bit of hard water deposits around the base of the fixture. |
 |
| After cleaning the hard water deposits... All done. The new valve works well. |
