Plumbing is a tool, isn't it?
Boss asked me a question I don't have a good answer for...
He recently had his bathroom remodeled, new shower, probably some minor plumbing modifications by questionably qualified technicians.
The shower has a Delta single lever valve with the separate temperature control lever. Since the new shower was installed, sometimes the plumbing will "sing" when valve is open. He says he can turn it off and back on, which may or may not stop the singing, or may temporary stop it, then it starts again.
The house is plumbed with copper. I don't know what was used to connect the new valve, I suspect Pex, but they may have used copper. He is on city water, so I don't suspect air or varying pressure.
From what I understand, the valve has an internal temperature regulating thermostat. I suspect there may be something loose inside the valve cartridge.
Any suggestions before I replace the cartridge?
Thanks!
