This article explains how to properly align the internal tubes inside the body to solve the problem of the freestanding bath faucet model XX33 that drips through the hand shower handle even after the cartridge has been replaced.

Recommended tools: 2.5mm and 2mm allen key, Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench
