Temp faucet repair

Dual o-ring bathroom faucet


Disassembled. Wiped dry then wrapped Teflon tape around the stem. Reassembled and no leak.


Will need to pick up some 1/2" o-rings next time I go near the plumbing supply...but maybe this will hold up for a while?


What was the customer's original complaint?

As I've said numerous times:

It's only temporary...unless it works.

A local mechanic claims there is nothing more permanent than temporary. Your version is better.

When spoken, you have to use the "..." pause for effect.

You let the "It's only temporary" sink in for a second, then bring the hammer down.

I got tired of chasing O rings after a disappointing experience with my air hose reels (is it SAE or metric etc) I bought a metric and SAE assortment (2 kits) from Harbor Fright that has a good selection of both.

I have a few here and by the time I need then they will probably be dried and cracked.
