When I turn my handle to drain in either verticle direction it will not completely close in one direction but will the other...any explanation?

The valve is designed to be open to either one side or the other depending on the direction of the handle. If assembled correctly the handle points in the direction that is open to the port 90 degrees from it. When those two ports are connected the other port is closed.

take the screws off and and cover plate clean the inside. lube up the o ring. if the screws are stripped you might have to replace the valve. these valves do have a lifetime warranty. but they only replace the insides. like I say if the screws are stripped you will need to replace. and it's a pain.

Are you sure you have installed this correctly. It is intended as a bypass. Thus there is in a sense one one vertical direction which would correspond to the original down pipe and when not in use this is open (the top of the T in the photo) and when the divert is opened the water flows out the side. The pic should be rotated 90 degrees for the installation position. It works fine for me when in the open position the roof rain drains away but in the divert position I capture the water in my holding tank. Hope this helps.

I had something similar, I took all the screws out and found a twig stuck inside.

I think it's a screwed up design, I have to get a screwdriver and flip the lever underneath to let the handle down and hope you don't push it all the way back up or you will have to do it again.My vacuum guy is looking at mine to see if anything can be done to fix it.

Try going in the other way.....not sure which end you're referring to, but as I recall, I had to put it in backwards, then attached the sprayer......easy, but very directional, as I recall...hope this helps...

No, the handle is fixed in the same position, all it does is turn in one direction or the other.

The handle for the water (on top of the faucet) moves up at an angle, but it doesn't extend beyond the back of the base plate so it shouldn't be a problem. The bigger issue would be the lever that pushes down the drain cover. It's in the back and it looks like you would need a little less than an inch in back of the base plate in order to fully pull it up and close the drain.

It will only drain one way at a time. You must manually turn to drain whichever line you want

I'm not sure I understand your question. When it was time to put the handle back on, I positioned it so that it was facing the right direction, then turned the base to tighten. If you are referring to the tool - it's not threaded and works both ways.

I can't see any reason that the handle ass'y couldn't be reversed so that it is located on the left. The cold/hot would be reversed tho. Normal setup has "cold flow" when you move the handle forward towards you. You might be able to reverse the lines ie. hot to cold and vs. verse To keep the flow where cold is towards the front. Yes the handle does adjust the flow rate. The further away from the spout the higher the rate.

I have only had that happen once. My husband tightened the wire and handle and now I take special care not to turn the handle as I'm slicing the cheese. I have not had any problems since. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

if I remember correct the drain needs to be off center to the left side on this model.

Honestly, the sink is at our weekend home and I can't go look at it but I THINK the drain is in the exact middle - so I can't imagine what problem it would create to flip it around. Maybe ask Elkay for sure? We love it.

Handle should turn easy. Mine did from the beginning. Something could be wrong.

Hi Richard. if your working with 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" easy to reduce or couple together. Drain needs to lined up strait , into wall ABS. This made our unit not line up with existing. I moved drain in wall because there is no room to angle drain in the new fountain. In this situation I could not move fountain to the right or left. Witch would be a lot easier . Hope this helps

It is a little tricky but mine opens and closes. After inspecting it I see that as you may suspect, turning the handle right tightens it and left loosens it. Yours must be initially stuck. I bet if you can get it to open once you won't have any trouble the next time. ;)

It's possible that the handle is not completely hollow, but it's very hard to tell. I tried pushing a toothpick into the opening and was not able to tell how deep it went. I would advise against this model if you have concerns about being able to clean this area.

This is the reverse of standard usability and it is a design flaw in this product, in my opinion, so for others reading this, take it into consideration. I got used to it and no longer think about it. Mine was installed by a plumber, and he said nothing about changing it to standard direction-turning, so I assumed it wasn't an option.

The handle has to be pushed to the left closest to the stem. If you push it back you get hot water, front is cold water. Hope this helps - it's a great buy and a nice faucet!
