I have been looking for a solution to repair a rare breakdown of a bath mixer for a long time. And found

The most offensive thing about this breakdown is that the mixer itself is still quite suitable for work, but out of order spare part cannot be found. This rarely happens, in practice there were only two cases, getting out of the situation using parts from old mixers.

Breaking

And so, the hostess also burst the adapter, tried to install the old one but it broke too, it's a pity, the crane was in good condition, and still would have worked.

I had to install a new device,about me haunted by the thought of finding a solution to the problem, since the repair kit can not be found, and found the same.

Decision

A simple idea came up use, stock nipple with different diameters at the edges. If one edge fit perfectly with the divertor thread (gander shower switch), then the other did not.

The difference between the diameters was almost a millimeter, so I decided to wind flax, soak it with superglue and wrap it in the mixer body. The glue chose, which does not freeze immediately.

When everything was ready, I screwed in the nipple, trying do not skew, the fit turned out to be tight and tight, twisted with effort. Then he twisted it and looked at the result, there was a thread frozen from the glue on the flax, twisted it again, great.

Result

The method is working and reliable, does not spoil the aesthetics of the mixer.
