Hi All
DIY homeowner here..
I replaced the thermostatic cartridge in my shower today, but after I finished and re-opened the water mains, water started leaking out of those 2 small golden screws at the top and bottom of the cartridge (picture attached).
Could anyone please kindly help me understand why this is happening?
Thank you
Ferdy

Brass tap body is leaking.
I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.

Hole in copper pipe, solder under floor, T coupling & protection
I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
