Kitchen faucet repair

[Dave W]

It appears that our pull out kitchen fauce is leaking. I thought it was last fall, but wasn't sure until I dewinterized the 5er yesterday and ran copious amounts of water through it - yep, it is. Usually it is only a couple O rings around the cartridge, but what OEMs use on an RV ........... not always good stuff.

Question - no clue what brand, but it seems to be a pretty decent one - are there a repair 'kits' available, i.e. at a Big Box Store. This is a poor photo cropped from a bigger one but will give you an idea of what it looks like:

If no kit - will probably just replace it, $$$$:banghead:

Your better off just replacing the whole thing. Less frustration in the end. Any big box store will have a good faucet at a decent price.

Normally I agree with you about the usual below bottom end plumbing stuff RV manufacturer's normally use. Instead, took a trip to Home Depot. A Danco 89902 is a physically identical (Delta/Glacier Bay/Aquasource part) replacement except for color and fits perfectly. I wont be able to test until the monsoon we are having (Nor'easter??) goes away but it turned on and off with the little bit of water in the system and the on-board pump. The cost was $16.97 plus tax vs $171 plus shipping at Trekwood for an an identical replacement faucet. If it doesn't work out - a new one will be in our future:whistling:.

Update 5/14/17:
That Danco cartridge works just fine with no drool - so far. I do see a replacement faucet in my future though. Super easy fix - 1/8" Allen wrench, water pump slip joint pliers and about 10 minutes.

Well that 'repair' didn't last:censored:
But it was worth a try:D. I just got back from Lowe's with an American Standard 'Mesa' that was on sale along with a couple brass 1/2" PEX swivel fitting to 3/8" compression adapters (phew, 7 bucks each with tax). It actually matches the sink vs that so called oil rubbed bronze that matched nothing. I originally tried a nice looking Glacier Bay from Home Depot but their quick install fitting is too big to fit between the sink and the cabinet. No more drools on the counter --- so far.
