Tub and shower faucets function similarly to sink faucets; they each have handles that are used to twist cartridge-based valves hidden below a decorative finish. At the base of these cartridges is a washer that helps to prevent leaks and drips from happening by keeping the cartridge thoroughly shut off. When these washers wear out, you may find your tub faucet or shower head beginning to drip. Replacing the shower faucet washer is much like replacing a sink faucet washer, with the only differences being the orientation of the cartridges; in the wall, instead of on the sink. | Tub and shower faucets function similarly to sink faucets; they each have handles that are used to twist cartridge-based valves hidden below a decorative finish.
