Kitchen Faucet with Sprayer

[69mustang]

Hi all,

I have a kitchen Faucet that pulls out and I think it's become worn, as it sags when put back. A picture is worth a million words. Please see attach pic and let me know if there is a way to fix this. I tried a few layers of electrical tape to make it snugger, but that didn't last long. Just looking for a cheap fix until we remodel.

Thank you in advance,
Mark

there is normally a counter-weight underneath to help pull back down.

There’s a blue pill you can get for a sagging spout.

As was spoken by the veteran plumbing extraordinaire Breplum there’s a counterweight that is usually what’s used to pull the head back into its holder.

Yes, ensure that weight is in place and is not impeded from dropping. Voila!

And to get it really snug, make sure the counterweight is slightly above the bottom, on the spout side.

My counterweight somehow is able to pull my garbage disposal plug every time. It is very annoying to lay on my back and reach in between the R/O unit, along with the plumbing and other crap under the sink just to plug it back in. I have to find a better way....

That’s what you get for being fancy.

Funny thing, my son just install a new faucet and showed me that. Mine just slides along the whole hose. He told me there are 2 screws to tighten. Thank you for the help!

Some have the sliding counterweight. Different brands, different designs.

That may be the fix I am looking for. Can you post a pic.... or do you want your normal $29.95 price for copyright infringement?

I could find you a link to the design. I’d have to take everything out from under my sink to get a pic.

Put a child proof cover over the receptacle, the kind with cubes that cover the outlet and can be opened.

I thought of this but I'm afraid I'll rip the cover right off. I may try it, since I have an extra outdoor cover sitting in the garage already.

Maybe try this thermacell trick so it can slide over snags

I had a Brizo faucet that had a plastic mesh bag that the hose went into and out of as you used it. No hang ups and way too cool for Havasu. I doubt the plumbing showrooms would even let him in the door, see him drive up and immediately go on lockdown.
The pretty girls that smell goodddddd.

No to derail this thread, but here is hopefully how I solved this issue.

Moen has something they call a "hose corral". I call it a jock strap...............
