"I thought it just had a nipple or somethin' back there and so I put a pipe wrench on it."

That is why I hate Delta or Peeless

Those three tube Delta's catch more DIYer's than anything else...

When he told me about it over the phone, I was LMAO. Then he was in a hurry to fix it because it was leaking water. Since it was too late to start it, I took the valve out and plugged the waterlines for the night.

I cut an access in his closet so he wouldn't have to replace the tub walls. "I never thought of that," he said.

Of course the new R-10000 universal valve takes that money away...

same thing happens when the h.o. tries to replace the stems around here on "antique" style faucets(pre 1950). you mean the stem thingies aint universal?

Yup, for lower priced tub shower valves the new Delta's are what I use, I like them and the cartridges come out real easy.
