Leaking Fixtures in a 1994 B190, Parts recommendations?
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2020 1:00 pm
OK!! I decided after two years of owning the van to FINALLY attempt to use the plumbing. It appears to have NEVER been used... the tank smells/looks immaculately clean inside.
I filled it to check for leaks, and noticed the following problems (most likely do to dried out 25 year old seals):
• The Kitchen Sprayer leaks from the base of the handle, where the handle attaches to the hose.
• The Shower Head "stop button" still leaves it trickling very heavily, but it does mostly stop the shower head flow.
• The Shower Faucet Handle (for cold water, hot water not tested yet) does not seem to effect water flow no matter it's position. On or Off... water pressure flows to the shower head.
• Water leaks from where the shower hose attaches to the faucet knobs.

I'm thinking I need to just replace the entire sink sprayer, shower head, and the entire shower faucet control assembly?
Can anyone suggest a good replacement for the Shower Water Faucet assembly? Is it a huge hassle, and do you recommend I just try and replacing all bushings and seals? Otherwise I think it's best to just replace the whole assembly, especially if there's a "prettier/modern" looking one.
I've had these parts saved in my Amazon Wishlist for awhile, I think I found them from posts on this forum awhile back... but my plan is to order:
• This Danze D469020 Metal Shower Hose
• This Oxygenics Chrome Shower Head
