Troubleshooting
Valve leaks after installation.
Ensure the valve is seated correctly and not overtightened. Check that the O-rings or seals are intact and properly positioned. Verify compatibility with the faucet body.
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn.
Confirm that the correct valve (hot/cold) is installed. Ensure no debris is obstructing the valve mechanism. Overtightening can sometimes cause stiffness; slightly loosen if necessary.
