Spray Straight.

It sounds like a tongue-twister doesn’t it?  The typical pullout sprayer faucet consists of four basic components…the hollow faucet spout, the pullout sprayer wand, a flexible faucet hose and the chrome pullout hose.  Most sprayer faucet leaks occur at the connections on either end of the chrome pullout hose.

Here are some repair tips if it is leaking –

1.  Turn off the hot and cold water supply.

2.  Find the small hose weight hanging from the chrome pullout hose below the sink.

3.  Turn on the faucet and allow any residual water in the pipes to drain into the sink.

4.  Pull a few inches of the pullout hose through the spout into the sink

5.  Stop right now and call Scott!

Kitchen Sprayers Gone Bad.

It sits there for years looking like a penguin with a cow-lick.  Your kitchen sprayer that is.  Beneath the mechanism is a long hose that can develop a leak and now it needs to be replaced.  There are many different reasons a person may need to replace their kitchen faucet pull-out spray head. 

In many cases, a kitchen faucet pull-out spray head becomes clogged with mineral deposits or the handle on the nozzle breaks.  Those are a couple of typical examples.  To replace it you will need to unscrew the hose from the main connection point, remove the hose from its location, connect the new hose by perfectly positioning it at the connection point.

Or…you could just call Scott.  That is southern Fox Valley plumbing professional Scott Swanson of Bee Plumbing Inc.  Something as innocuous as a sprayer can alter the way you use your most important room.  Please visit bee-plumbinginc.com on the web then call the number that properly corresponds to your specific location for fast, reliable service.
