I was trying to get a ball cock to fit a riser I have but it was too hard. The nut for the head just wouldn't fit the screw; maybe the shaft was too rigid? As for mating the coupling to the post, I just said "nuts," the prong wouldn't go in the hole. The plunger rod won't penetrate (and yes, the rubber is lubed.) I'm frustrated and unsatisfied.
I'd call my plumber friend Dick, but he's a bit an ass, so I'll just blow it off, I guess. The whole thing sucks. I'm in over my head
