For the kitchen faucet/pull out sprayer combo, I pulled the spray head off the hose connection.
I got the hose end out of the faucet, and I tried to re-attach it to the spray head with gorilla glue following the damp/glue/clamp directions and then lleft it clamped it for 4 hours.
At the end of the time, I could see that the glue had set up and fully dried from the thread of glue that oozed out.
When I undid the clamp the connection did not hold.
Is there any way to repair this?
This spray head is the faucet. Wouldn’t I need to match the same piece?
(It is not just a sprayer next to the faucet.)

YOU WERE RIGHT!
Another repair adventure- just when I thought I had done them all:
Stores I called said they did not stock parts
Bit the bullet and went to buy whole new faucet – I had just installed this one myself like 2-3 years ago!
Got to HD and saw the same fixture, PLUS parts. Got home and checked, and yes, mine should have had threaded parts, so with that reassurance, tried with 2 wrenches, padded, and unscrewed it – Yay!
Screwed the new one on.
Glad I coped, rather than panicked thanks to this community. Why do these things ALWAYS happen on weekends?!?!
Now scraping the excess egg off of my face…

I bought a pull down kitchen faucet to replace an existing one but after all the hard work of taking out the old one, the new faucet doesn’t quite fit into the 1-3/8" hole in the granite counter top. I thought the faucets are standard size…. I think it just needs to be sanded(?), grinded(?), or filed(?) maybe 1mm to fit the new faucet. What are my options to make this hole "tiny bit" bigger, without risk of cracking the countertop…. much appreciate any input!!

The thing on the faucet that you push down or pull up, wont move anymore….so my adult boys cant take a shower in there…so now my youngest son, just turned 30, cant take a shower, but he uses my shower now. Both laid off no money for buying a new faucet deal and on disabled widow soc sec, no money from me to hire a plumber. Does it need to be replaced? It doesnt LOOK BROKE. It just wont switch from tub to shower head. What can we do? Please help!! I cant use my shower either, but that’s because i cant get up in there now. I am 63 and finally first time in my life, have my own bathroom. SORRY IF IT SOUNDS SELFISH, BUT I DONT WANT TO SHARE MY BATHROOM. My daughter takes me to fitness usa 3 times a week where i exercise in the pool, and shower with lots of water pressure. btw, that is the other problem we have in this trailer and this park, low water pressure. the park has wells, and i think it is affecting our pipes. The rust is unreal. I have a little pool out back, and you should see the DARK RUST COLOR ON THE FILTER WHEN I CLEAN IT OUT. OH MY. One other problem: water softener quiet going through full cycle, it would start but not finish the cycle. Had son take all the old salt out of it. Now i have been looking for a "new" one on craigslist. It is difficult to live here without one. Cant drink the water, so we use a Brita filter i got at salvation army. works great. somebody told me there is this little part on the water softener (Kenmore) that gets junk in it and that makes it not work? ever heard of such a thing? is it possible that is the problem? cant afford a regular plumber for sure here in flint michigan. JUST ONE MORE THING: something is leaking under kitchen sink, and now thewood is rotted under there. Wht could my son look for to see if he could fix that? He has no plumbing experience. ONE LAST THING (I PROMISE): one whole wall in living room (where i had fish tanks) the outlets quit working. That wall is shared with the kitchen ….outlet on floor behind stove now quit working also. Other outlets on that kitchen wall DO WORK. Across from that is the kitchen sink, above the sink are 3 hanging little lamps (they were there when i moved here 3 years ago), they have QUIT WORKING, but the switch to the overhead in middle of kitchen still works (both switches are together). What do you think could be the problem there? Are they related to each other?……problem in kitchen andliving room? problem on one side of kitchen and the other? Other switches and outlets in kitchen are working fine.
Sorry about the LONG questions, thought it was my last opportunity for today and that i was out of questions. Is there an agency that would help me with this since i am 63 and disabled on low widow soc sec (600 a month)?

An in-law addition was recently added to my house with a small wetbar. A kitchen faucet similar to the Delta "Palo Diamond" or Kohler "Coralais" style with a pull out sprayer and a way to switch between regular flow and spray flow was installed in the wet bar in November. For about 2 months it worked just fine, with regular pressure, etc. About two months ago, it started to act like it was clogged. Drop in pressure, especially when using the hot water, and if you put it in "spray mode" it will run out of pressure and either shut itself off or switch over to stream mode (with a very weak stream). Water pressure in other parts of the addition (shower, bathroom) are just fine.

I tried taking the cover off the end of the sprayer with needle-nose pliers, and got that assembly off, rinsed it off to see if it had debris in it and found none. It had a four very narrow screen/filter things inside the assembly, so I even took one of those out to see if it would make a difference, and it did not.

Other than buying and installing a new faucet, can anyone suggest something else to try?

Thanks!

I want to install a new faucet that has a side sprayer. I currently have one that has a pull out sprayer. Where will the dishwasher overflow go? (I think that’s what it is–I’ve seen water come from it when the dishwasher is running, up by the faucet?)

OK, I just purchased a new faucet and in the process of removing the old faucet I have encountered a glitch. Let’s see how to explain: The new faucet has the wire pipes attached that slide into the hole in the sink, right. So while removing the old faucet I see the same metal pipes and the spray hose for the spray. Only thing is there is this old rusty metal bulky circular thing attached to the TOP of the hose for the spray that seems as though it’s purpose was to keep from being able to pull the faucet directly out of the sink. Therefore I must first remove the spray attachments, but the screw comes down pretty easily until I get to the bottom where it seems to get stuck or maybe even stop. Is there a possibility that through some process it was designed this way, such as glue or something? I thought it was gunk, but really it seems to have stopped. If it were not for this bulky thing and the fact that the screw below the bulky thing were not stuck this seems like it would be easy sailing. HELP! FAST!
I just tried the wd-40 and I am convinced there is something at the BOTTOM of this screw keeping me from removing it. I wonder if it’s supposed to come off at all, but what other way to remove the spray hose and especially this bulky ring thing???

Buyer Beware!

I recently had a very unpleasant experience with a website online. As luck would have it, our 4 year-old kitchen faucet stopped working properly; the handle wouldn’t swivel, it was hard to pull out & the whole thing was so out of whack that I couldn’t even get hot water from it. My handy-dandy hubby decided that he was going to fix it for me. I took everything out from under the sink & he proceeded to take the faucet apart. Upon close inspection he found that the mounting bracket had rusted out & some other parts were apparently damaged. “Get a new faucet, & I’ll install it for you”, he said.

I went online & did a search for kitchen faucets. Lo and behold, a website: http://www.efaucets.com, which had photos of hundreds of faucets by all different manufacturers, popped up! I looked through it & clicked on “pull-out kitchen faucets” and came upon 2 attractive faucets that looked identical but had 2 different model numbers & prices. I looked at the description of both and they sounded the same. Naturally, I was confused, so I asked my hubby if he could detect a difference. “No”, he said, “The cheaper one is probably just last year’s model, why don’t you call & ask?” I did that, but since it was a Sunday night, they were closed. The less expensive of the faucets had a caption that said, “Hurry & place your order, as there are only 10 left in stock”. I did as suggested & gave my credit card number & all other pertinent info. Something still nagged at me; I went back & re-read the description. That’s when I noticed the word “prep”. What could that mean? I received a confirmation email stating that orders are shipped the same day if placed before 3 pm but if placed on a Saturday or Sunday it would be shipped on Monday (I placed my order at 7 pm on Sunday). I called the company the very next day as soon as they opened & asked what the difference was between the two. The lady at the other end said the one I ordered was a smaller bar faucet. I told her that I wanted to change my order because I didn’t realize that and she said: “Sorry, it’s too late as it has already been shipped, besides, it plainly stated it’s a “prep”. I explained to her what my confirmation email stated regarding shipping, etc. Her answer was that even though the company was closed, the shipping dept was open 7 days a week, blah, blah, blah and so I would have to pay shipping charges & a 15% re-stocking fee if I returned it, or a 25% fee plus shipping if I didn’t accept delivery. I then asked for a tracking number & she said she didn’t have that yet as they don’t get it until the following day…but this was the following day! Realizing I was getting nowhere fast, I hung up & called back ½ hr. later. I asked to speak to a supervisor & got the same story except that she was kind enough to offer me a 5% discount on the other but much more expensive faucet when I re-ordered; all other charges applied. I told her this was not a fair return policy & she haughtily said that it was clearly stated on their website.

Having had enough of this nonsense, I called my credit card company who told me the purchase had been approved but not posted yet which is further proof that the item had not been shipped. They noted it on my file and asked me to call back once it was posted so they could dispute it. I called e-faucet once more & told the lady this. She was very nasty & said: “fine, they can talk to our legal dept” I replied, “OK, lady” & hung up. But wait, there’s more!

Approximately 20 minutes later I got a call from a very polite & apologetic voice telling me that her name was “Amy” from e-faucet and that they would be happy to exchange the faucet for me for the other model, that it was not too late, that it was all a mistake, blah, blah, blah. She even offered to ship it overnight mail at “no extra charge”. “Sorry”, I said, “It is too late as I’m no longer interested because the whole incident left me with a bad taste about your company. I will buy it locally, and furthermore, if you don’t credit my account, I will not accept delivery & the transaction will be disputed. You then will have to pay for the shipping both ways, so what will it be?” “I will take care of it immediately” was her reply.

To make a long story short, I finally called the Delta Company, which is the manufacturer of my original faucet & found out that it has a lifetime warrantee. They are shipping me all the replacement parts for my “old” faucet free of charge. Now my hubby has one more item on top of his ‘honey-do list’.

We have a wonderful pull-out kitchen sink faucet (Kohler’s Vinnata kitchen sink faucet- K-690) that the previous home owners installed in our kitchen. We love it because it has a button that can let us choose either shower spray or normal stream. It’s worked well through the years, but more and more, it’s been doing both the spray and the stream simultaneously (despite pressing the button). Since Kohler’s been no help (since we didn’t buy the faucet) here are my questions: Is this something I can easily fix myself? Do I need to buy a completely new faucet? Is Kohler responsible for fixing it (under its lifetime warranty) even though I didn’t purchase it?

The spray nozzle snapped off of my kichen faucet. The retractable tubing/hose is in tact.; however, the small piece that connects the hose to the actual faucet/spray nozzle snapped. Can this small piece be relaced or do I have to buy a new faucet?
