Chuck,
Definitely change the O ring, and ensure the disc is installed properly, as well as ensure there is no debris on the disc. It sounds like the O ring was torn during the first procedure. Good Luck.

you have air in your water lines

replace the faucet,sounds like it has gone bad.

you can't you must replace the handset.there is a plastic check valve in the end that may be glued in not sure of that year.you can get a new one at home depot,or a plumbing supply company.

you need pressure to make the spray stay on so maybe check the valve under the sink to see if it has turn almost off, that happen when the pull out nozzle gets returned and the heavy weight on the hose hits the hose

you must remove the faucet form the sink. under the plate in the middle is 2 screws. remove the screws to remove the body.

soak down with WD40 and try again use a bigger wrench they all come off i have not found any that i have not been able remove!

Hi,

You need to reduce the pressure to the tap, if you look at the isolator valves beneath the tap, using a screwdriver turn the isolator valve screw until it stops spraying.

Ihope this helps

sometimes hard to see. Might be on the underside of the spout or on the back side of the part of the spout that it connected to the faucet. OR just compare to pictures on American Standard website

I would turn off the water then check to make sure you have good flow up to the faucet itself. If you do then there might be a proplem with the cartridge or diverter. does it have a sprayer? If it has a sprayer head for the spout of the faucet then there will be what the call a check valve inside the spray head itself that canbe removed with a skinny screwdriver or something thin and long

you need to uninstall to take off from bottom

unscrew a alen screw on the underside of the handle.
unscrew the cap that is holding the main body of the fixture.
pull up the fixture.
install in reverse order.

sadly not much to be done there but replace the head

The o-ring(s) is expanded or stuck. Try spraying silicone lub (found it at most discount ro hardware stores)  Keep twisting it back and forth as you raise it up . Yes. You may have to force it up which will tear the old o-rings that you are going to replace anyway.   

I am not exactly sure what you are having trouble removing but your faucet is lifetime guaranteed so i would contact Am. Stdrd..

The faucet cartridge is more then likely blocked and the faucet will have to be disassembled in order to unblock it.
While it is disassembled you should slowly turn on the water lines to make sure the water ways in the faucet are clear. And thoroughly check the cartridge for damage. Replace if necessary.
Replacement Cartridges can be purchased at most plumbing supply houses or Big Box Stores such as Lowes or the like.

The metalic taste is coming from the the new faucet

I would call American Standard and ask them if they have any complaints for this particular model

I would run hot water through the faucet for 5 minute intervals

If it persists I would take it back and demand a refund or cal AS and demand a refund or replacement model

I am sure the local news would like to report something like this

Most likely you need to adjust the hot limit safety stop which restricts handle swing to limit the high temp of the water and avoid scalding... check out this link to the install manual for your faucet. Also includes detailed diagram of cartridge alignment just in case you need it.

Hope this helps, Tripp

You wont need to line up with holes... it has a plastic notch in the stem and a grove in the housing,if its a drop in plastic cartridge.

Never use Draino on a toilet. All pipe cleaning liquids are not really a solution, just a temporary fix.

Since you said that the slow draining is associated with both the toilets and the sinks then I am almost certain that you have a venting issue.

Imagine a drinking straw.....now if you hold your thumb on the end of the straw and bring it up abouve the water level water remains in the straw. This is because air can't get in to replace the water. When your finger is removed then the water flows freely.

As with the straw, your plumbing must also breath. I would bet that one or more vents that are on your roof have become clogged with debrise. Squirrels love to throw nuts and stuff down there to build their nests upon.

Climb up there (safety is a priority) and try running a snake (~$10 at lowes) and see if you hit any obstruction. If so, use the snake to dislodge it.

If you would like, pour water down the vents either by hose or bucket and see if the water backs up. If it does then you have a clog. You can also use the water to try to clear the clog.

Thanks.
