We're in the process of checking out our 77 Kingsley water system. We are replacing the seals/gaskets in the kitchen faucet, no problem. But we can't find any paperwork on the bath faucet/diverter. We need the brand name(is it Delta like the kitchen faucet?) and the model number and especially the seals/gasket repair kit we might find at HD or Lowes. We have a wet bath and the faucet has the diverter and looks just like some of the pictures we found in the photos on this forum. We have O-rings for the diverter (currently it's stuck but we're working on getting it out) but we need the hot and cold knob seals/gaskets. We haven't taken anything apart yet and will if we have to to take them in to compare with available kits.

In reading the forum the city water inlet is supposed to have a check valve in it. We'll see shortly if it works. Secondly it's supposed to have a pressure regulator. Does anyone know what pressure it's set at or allows into the system?

Any help is greatly appeciated on this. Thanks!

Kerry worked out a rebuild. I see some o-rings listed in the photo tutorial.

My actual valves worked fine and I did not get into them. HOWEVER, I'd expect they are standard two knob elcheapo faucet seats. My write up has to do with the diverter and how it works. If you go the lock screw out ( on the bottom of the nozzle in front of the aretor ) and it still won't come out, try putting the nozzle in some vinegar, that should dissolve the depositions and allow you to work the tube out.

I hit send before I finished typing. I just had cataract surfers 3 hours ago and have a patch over one eye and it's a little hard to type.

Ace Hardware has 1E1C for right (cold) and 1E1H for left (hot).

emery,

Hope you are doing well with the eyes.

I had a plumber who was able to rebuild the original FAUCET/DIVERTER in about 20 minutes.
That was 11 years ago when I lived in Virginia. Still works like new.

I have done both original bathroom faucets in my -73's with universal O-rings and a cheap "flat" seal set from Ebay, a pretty easy job and no special parts needed.

1973 23' # 1848 Sky Blue Glacier called Baby Blue and a 1973 26'-3 # 1460 Parrot green Seqouia Known as the Big Green, And sold my 1973 26'-2 # 581 White Canyon lands under the name Dobbelt trøbbel in Norway
