Water leak

[John G]

It appears that I have a water leak that is coming from my shower, where the handles are. I cannot find a shutoff valve for the shower. I have a 2023 Paradigm 295MK. If anyone knows where the shutoff valves are, if any, would let me know. Thanks

Update: Had to take off the other panel but I found the shutoff valves. Turned them off, took the handles off from the shower wall and had just enough room to get a pair of pliers in to tighten the connection. Checking the hot water side first. Giving it about an hour to see if it leaks.

where did you find those shut offs? I too have a leak same spot. I looked under the bathroom and see the pex, but no valves. I thought there were supposed to be valves at all fixtures. Anyone else with a 32RLS can shed light for me?

I found the shutoffs in the bay behind the nautilus panel. I had to take the other panel off (4 square head screws). The shutoffs were back inside that panel.

Well after a few months I am back home. Shower is still leaking from the back of the faucet. Add some extra pex tubing so I could extend the shower faucet from the shower wall and I am going to replace the connector on the end of the pex tubing. Enjoyed the rally in Oregon and our travels on the west coast and in Washington. If you are retired military the fancamp in Tacoma is really nice.

its a design flaw that makes the ell bend under stress behind the valve control. The little gasket blows out. I bought some brass extenders to add after being told by Alliance that I can buy them to fix the installation design flaw. I really enjoy it being my issue. You should never have Pex fittings under stress.

Thanks for the info.
