Issues with a pull-down hose on kitchen faucet

[y_p_w]

So it’s finally in there. Installation was extremely easy with the big sleeve style plastic nut with a brass insert. The bottom of the faucet opening was a big brass shank. It didn’t stick out much as this is a granite counter that adds about 3/4”, but it was enough. With the sleeve I could even hand tighten with one hand reaching in while my other hand held on to the faucet to keep it from rotating. This actually has a ball on the pullout hose at the sprayer end. I don’t know exactly how the previous one was sealed, but I realize it wasn’t a ball, and it was leaking severely.

When I first had water going through the faucet, it came out black, but was clear within 5 seconds.

If it’s still working in a couple of years, I consider that a win.

We've had the same one for about a year now. So far all is good!

If you decide to take on the challenge, this WeWe brand faucet on Amazon is as good or better than any other brand name unit I have installed. Installed four of these faucets in kitchens for family and friends and each household raves about it's performance. I can install one of these faucets in 15 minutes flat as soon as the water supply is shut off. Heck of a steal at today's Lightning Deal price.

I had a look at it. Two days ago it was saying I had about three hours to take advantage of a Lightning Deal. But I checked today and it's available for the same price that's not a special price. Go fig.
