Repair Shower Faucet Cryogenic Ball Valve 2012-03-26

A ball valve has a spherical disc within the component that controls the flow through the valve. In a Cryogenic Ball Valve, the inner disc, or ball, contains a hole. When the hole is lined up parallel with the valve ends, the ball valve is open and fluids can flow through the valve. When the hole is perpendicular to the valve ends, the ball valve is closed and the flow is stopped. Ball valves are common to many heavy-duty projects because they are extremely durable. Ball valves are also known for their excellent sealing capabilities. Ball valves boast near-perfect shut-off which makes them perfect for applications that require the complete shut-off of flow through valves. Another great feature of the ball valve is that it is easily repaired.

1 Turn the water supply off in your home. Use your allen wrench to remove the screw on the side of the handle of the faucet, and remove both the screw and the handle. With these items removed, slide the gray plastic disc and the metal sleeve off of the faucet.

2 Use a strap wrench to remove the brass ring of Electric Ball Valve that is holding the remainder of the faucet in place. Once the brass ring is removed, use slow and steady pressure to remove the faucet assembly from its place by twisting the unit counterclockwise until it comes loose. Place a towel beneath the opening, as there is likely to still be some excess water in the pipes.

3 Open the faucet assembly by simultaneously pressing in and twisting on the blue half. Pull out the black rubber seats from the blue half and replace them with the new pieces found in the repair kit. These rubber pieces are the key to eliminating the leak you are experiencing in your shower.

4 Place the springs and rubber seats in place and twist the blue and white pieces back together to rejoin them. Re-insert the faucet assembly into the brass sleeve, and use the strap wrench to secure it in place with the brass ring. Slip the sleeve back onto the assembly and put the gray disk back into place. Re-attach the shower faucet handle and turn on the water supply in your home.
