These are the pics of my shower faucet. Just wondering if, apart from the nuts, I also need to use a hex screwdriver (or similar) to remove those "screws".
yes you do, loosen those to release the bars, so you can unscrew the bolts. if they are loose, you may be able to just wiggle it out....
Hey cyber,
Cheers for the info. I doubted if anyone was gonna reply....just glad you were surfing the off-topic board when you did. I think this will be a simple project. Cheers again and happy new year '08 to you...
I would buy the new one first. Make sure the distance between the pipe stubs is the same. It looks like you are not going to be able to turn the water off at the faucet and will need to turn off all the water to the house.
This setup is very different than what we use in the US. Our shower valves are behind the tile. Most of the time we can repair them, but when we can't it is a lot more difficult to replace the entire valve assembly.
Yours looks like our very vintage wall-hung kitchen faucets. Those we remove by turning the nuts counter clockwise. The nipples protruding from the wall are always threaded pipe. Looks like yours are copper pipe with the adapters held in place by the set screws. Probably use o-rings for seals.
