Yep AC, that's always the way it goes.  No matter what you have, you always need something else.

When I'm doing plumbing, if I go to the hardware store for parts, the checkout person usually asks if I found everything OK.  MY answer, "I don't know yet.  I'm working on plumbing so I won't know until I'm done and expect to be back at least 3 more times today for more stuff."  Yep, usually go back a couple of more times before I'm done.  Good thing I live less than 2 miles from the store.

Oh, and by the way, I usually stock a lot of plumbing stuff like extra traps, basket strainers, valves, gaskets, short pieces of pipe and fittings, etc.  My shed looks like a small hardware store.  However, when I have a plumbing problem, I almost certainly DO NOT have whatever it is I need for that problem.  Go figure!

I have found that with most plumbing jobs, buy what you need, then buy 25 other items that you might need, then get 3-4 more for good luck. Do the job, and return whats left!

Changed the cartridge in our sink faucet . Stop under the sink (hot side) wouldn't turn completely off . Water was blackish when I flushed the line . Pulled the shut off stem . No washer ?!! Ended up cutting the 1/2" copper and put a 1/4 turn compression valve on . Way more work than I wanted to do . Thanks Oh and I found what was left of the washer in the valve body .
