A drip that keeps returning once that water is gone points us toward the cartridge or stem seals.\n\n[Valves & cartridges →](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/shower-valve-repair/#st-valve-symptoms>)\n\n### Too cold, too hot or weak↗\n\nToo cold, too hot or weak\n\n### Compare this shower with the other fixtures.\n\nThat tells us whether to start at this shower’s head, supplies and mixing valve or at the home’s hot-water and pressure system.\n\n[Valves & cartridges →](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/shower-valve-repair/#st-temperature>)\n\n### Water from the wrong outlet↗\n\nWater from the wrong outlet\n\n### Tell us whether you’re filling the tub or showering.\n\nA worn spout diverter can send too much water into the tub during a shower. Water rising to the showerhead during tub filling sends us toward the spout and its supply path.\n\n[Spouts & diverters →](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/tub-spouts-and-diverters/#st-diverter-flow>)\n\n### Slow drain or a leak below↗\n\nSlow drain or a leak below\n\n### The drain and the leak each need a path traced.\n\nTell us when it gets wet: during a shower, as the tub empties or with everything turned off.

Select a part to see where a drip or control problem starts.\n\n#### Service options\n\nThe valve repair guide covers cartridge identification and the parts we service.\n\n[See the parts from our repairs →](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/shower-valve-repair/#st-parts>)\n\n### Cartridge & seals\n\n**Cartridge & seals**\n\nThe 1222 cartridge contains the shutoff, mixing and pressure-balancing components. Its oval side seals separate the supply passages.\n\n### Brass valve body\n\n**Brass valve body**\n\nThe body connects to the four pipes and holds the cartridge. This model uses the geometry published by Moen for its 2520 valve.\n\n### Retaining clip\n\n**Retaining clip**\n\nThe U-shaped clip locks the cartridge into the valve body against water pressure. It lifts out for cartridge service.\n\n### Handle stem\n\n**Handle stem**\n\nThe handle attaches to this brass shaft. Turning it operates the cartridge.\n\n### Water connections\n\n**Water connections**\n\nHot and cold enter opposite sides. The upper outlet serves the shower; the lower outlet serves the tub spout.\n\n### Two handlesSeparate hot and cold\n\nTwo handles\n\n### Each handle controls its own supply.\n\nOne handle opens hot water and the other opens cold. The supplies mix inside the connected body.\n\n#### Service options\n\nThe repair guide explains the stems, washers and seats used in older controls.\n\n[See the parts from our repairs →](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/shower-valve-repair/#st-parts>)\n\n### Hot stem & valve\n\n**Hot stem & valve**\n\nTurning the handle moves a rubber washer toward or away from the seat inside the body. A flattened washer or a pitted seat can let the spout keep dripping after the handle is closed.\n\n### Cold stem & valve\n\n**Cold stem & valve**\n\nThe cold side has a second stem and washer. Water leaking around a handle comes from the stem seal or packing; a worn shutoff washer lets water through to the outlet.\n\n### Connected valve body\n\n**Connected valve body**\n\nThe hot and cold valves feed a shared passage in this brass body. The body stays connected to the pipes when the removable stems and seats are serviced from the front.\n\n### Handles & flanges\n\n**Handles & flanges**\n\nThe cross handles turn the stems, and the chrome flanges cover the wall openings. Handle splines, stem length and flange threads determine which replacement trim fits.\n\n### Mixed-water outlets\n\n**Mixed-water outlets**\n\nMixed water leaves the center of the body. Pulling up the tub-spout diverter blocks the spout opening so water travels up the shower pipe. Wear at that diverter can leave the spout running during a shower.\n\n### Three handlesHot / diverter / cold\n\nThree handles\n\n### The middle handle chooses the outlet.\n\nThe outside handles set hot and cold. The middle handle sends that mixed water to the tub or shower.\n\n#### Service options\n\nA faulty center diverter and a dripping supply valve lead to different repairs.\n\n[See the parts from our repairs →](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/shower-valve-repair/#st-parts>)\n\n### Hot stem & valve\n\n**Hot stem & valve**\n\nThe hot stem carries a rubber washer that closes against a seat in the body. A damaged seat can quickly chew up a new washer, so both surfaces matter in a drip repair.\n\n### Cold stem & valve\n\n**Cold stem & valve**\n\nThe cold stem controls the second supply. Its washer stops flow to the outlets; its stem seal keeps water from escaping around the handle. The leak location helps identify which part needs attention.\n\n### Center diverter\n\n**Center diverter**\n\nThe center stem switches the mixed water between the tub and shower passages. Worn diverter seals can let both outlets run together even when the hot and cold valves are working properly.\n\n### Three handles & flanges\n\n**Three handles & flanges**\n\nThe center handle operates the diverter; the outer handles control the supplies. Matching trim depends on the stem and flange connections behind these handles.\n\n### Tub & shower branches\n\n**Tub & shower branches**\n\nThe upper connection feeds the showerhead and the lower connection feeds the tub spout. The center diverter chooses the path; the two outer handles shut the water off.\n\n### Two modern controls can work differently.\n\nModern showers can have separate temperature and volume controls, or a second handle for a handshower. Those belong to a mixing/transfer system. The older two-handle example here has one hot valve and one cold valve.\n\nRead more: [Moen: shower valve controls and handle motion ↗](<https://solutions.moen.com/Article_Library/A_Comparison_of_M-Core%2C_PosiTemp_and_Moentrol_Valves%3F>) · [Pfister: multi-handle valves, stems and diverters ↗](<https://www.pfisterfaucets.com/parts-support/troubleshooting/product/pfister-g01-3190-3-handle-tub-shower-trim-with-valve>) · [Delta: MultiChoice controls and compatibility ↗](<https://www.deltafaucet.com/design-innovation/innovations/shower/multichoice-universal-valve>)\n\nChoose a guide\n\n## Get into the details.\n\n01  Drips · Stiff handles · Temperature trouble\n\n### [Valves & cartridges](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/shower-valve-repair/?agentnet=md>)\n\nUnderstand the parts behind the handle, what makes them fail and when a repair can save the existing valve.\n\n Explore the guide →\n\n02  Tub filling · Shower switching · Handshowers\n\n### [Spouts & diverters](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/tub-spouts-and-diverters/?agentnet=md>)\n\nFind out why water comes from the wrong outlet, why a spout leaks and what its connection needs.\n\n Explore the guide →\n\n03  Slow drains · Tub stoppers · Water downstairs\n\n### [Drains & hidden leaks](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/tub-shower-drains-and-leaks/?agentnet=md>)\n\nFollow the drain and overflow, spot useful leak clues and understand what needs access below the fixture.\n\n Explore the guide →\n\n04  Wall access · New fixtures · Rough-in to finish\n\n### [Replacement & remodels](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/shower-tub-replacement/?agentnet=md>)\n\nPlan valve access, trim compatibility, a new tub or shower, and the plumbing work before walls close.\n\n Explore the guide →\n\n**Water leaking into the wall or ceiling?**\n\nStop using that fixture.

The condition of the valve body and availability of matching parts determine whether a repair makes sense.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/#answer-does-a-dripping-shower-mean-replacing-the-whole-valve>)\n\n### What helps you prepare for a shower repair?\n\nA photo of the whole fixture, a close-up of the handle and brand, and a description of when the problem happens. Mention any water behind the wall, recent plumbing work and whether other fixtures have the same trouble.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/#answer-what-helps-you-prepare-for-a-shower-repair>)\n\n### Can you handle the plumbing during a tub-to-shower remodel?\n\nYes. We plan the water connections, shower valve, drain and access with the remodel team, then return for the finished fixtures and operating checks. The shower base and waterproofing system need to be chosen while the drain work is being planned.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/#answer-can-you-handle-the-plumbing-during-a-tub-to-shower-remodel>)\n\n### Sources & public guide record\n\nMaintained by Mountain Man Plumbing · Utah Master Plumber, Lic. \\#12992295-5501.\n\n- [Delta: MultiChoice controls and compatibility ↗](<https://www.deltafaucet.com/design-innovation/innovations/shower/multichoice-universal-valve>)\n- [Moen: shower valve controls and handle motion ↗](<https://solutions.moen.com/Article_Library/A_Comparison_of_M-Core%2C_PosiTemp_and_Moentrol_Valves%3F>)\n- [Pfister: multi-handle valves, stems and diverters ↗](<https://www.pfisterfaucets.com/parts-support/troubleshooting/product/pfister-g01-3190-3-handle-tub-shower-trim-with-valve>)\n- [Moen 2520: original CAD and valve specifications ↗](<https://shop.moen.com/products/2520>)\n\nVersion 2026.09.10.1 · References checked 2026-09-10.\n\n- [Public record · JSON](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/pb/facts/shower-tub/guide.json>)\n\n- [Read as Markdown](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/shower-tub/?agentnet=md>)\n\n## Let’s get it working.\n\nTell us what the shower or tub is doing.
