I have this item and cannot get it to line up horizontal for turning water on/off. How can it be aligned properly using the valve next to the spicket

This faucet is intended to be installed like a shower/bath setup. Meaning, rigid 1/2in. copper pipe connected direct to the faucet valve. You would then secure the copper pipe to wall studs. Instructions are non existent for this product. Searching the internet for 'shower valve' installations will lead you in the right direction.

The shut off switch screw has to be tight enough to be able to move the valve that allows the water to turn off and on, if the screw is too loose you won't have any control over that. The screw has to be tight enough to move the valve, but not too tight where it doesn't move at all. You may have to use some pliers to move the switch and spray some WD-40 inside to help loosen it up. I hope this helps you Ann.

There should be an edge and a bit of bubbling in the middle as it never goes on perfect. Are you sure it's not on backwards? Just an idea, no worries.

You have to insert it the same way you remove the old one. there isn't any difference between clockwise and counterclockwise on the valve itself.

I understand exactly what you're talking about. I had that same problem. Try to do it BEFORE you mount it on the wall. In other words. play around with it a little and see if you can do it WITHOUT mounting first. I just checked mine and it is sitting perfectly, but it can be a pain to get it right. It WILL fit, but it will try your patience first.

Hi, thank you for your patience - had to wait for my husband to return home to ask him!! He says it is a bit tricky to line up with the coupler on the grill tank (which is what he uses, too), but it turns counter-clockwise when aligned properly. Hopefully this will solve your problem. Let me know if you have any other concerns, he has used his quite a bit and might be able to give you some tips. Good luck!

there are no instruction, but you can see how valve works before you install it. from the factory the shut off ball should be vertical from the handle. if the handle is pointing down, the flow should draw from both ports. the handle can be taken off and put in any position to your liking. hope this is helpful. ,

I have developed the same problem ! Instead of pushing it in directly, try sliding it in from the bottom of the position.I can get it to stay like that, but it doesn't go in all the way. Still, it stays in place although not perfectly.If i find another solution, i will let you know.

I tried to replicate this issue with both of mine and could not. Sometimes if you do not have the prongs lined up correctly with the center piece the lid will not advance correctly but it will not keep spinning around. I think you may have a defective one. A return would be my suggestion.

I have the same issue. I have tried to fix it with no luck. Only thing that works is holding the handle at aslight angle. Over all I am not happy with this item.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe your counter is higher than typical 32" bathroom counter or wall valves lower. Plumber are notorious for put things where ever they feel like it. The only standard they seem to all do is waste line for WC at 12" off the wall.Re: the faucet. It works well and looks good.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly. I've had this issue and cap was not on correctly which did not allow for steam buildup.

I have the same problem. I just wrote to Homedics to ask them where I can get it. I couldn't find it on their website even though they have a section for parts. In the meantime I've been using it anyway. I don't fill the water tank too much and just quickly put it into place. It seems to work okay this way but you have to be doubly careful to not let it tip over. Hope that helps. Patricia

I Have had this problem, and it is a very easy fix. Make sure that the black hose connector is inserted correctly into the canister (lever facing the primer button). I believe that when this piece is inserted backwards there are check valves that do not allow flow in the proper direction. This is a design flaw, it would be very easy to design the piece so it only fits in the canister in the correct orientation.

You might check to be sure that you have the gasket positioned properly or that there isn't a defect or irregularity in the gasket. Alternatively, you might buy a large rubber washer from a hardware store to put between the spigot and the cistern. Finally, perhaps you are being a little too gentle in tightening?

I agree it requires a little fiddling around to get the pump and ceramic top lined up properly. My best advice is to put the top on first and then reach under and move the pump around so that it's lined up with the spout.

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P; valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.
