New Kitchen Faucet in our Fiver
I just upgraded our kitchen faucet in our RV with a 'close-out' from Menards.
The problem I ran into was the existing faucet was a really cheap 8" on center faucet using 2 holes spaced the 8" apart. We wanted a single lever faucet, and assumed we could use a started faucet lever faucet, but found I couldn't put a center hole model in, because there was a sink mounting bracket right in the center. The model I found was a good quality Delta, unfortunately white, which had a separate sprayer nozzle, so I put the single mount in left hole, and the sprayer nozzle in the right hole. The faucet is long enough to be able to put water into both basins of the dual tub sink.
The holes were only 1", so had to enlarge them to 1 1/2". Glued 1" dowel into the holes and then hole-saw to center the bit over the existing hole.
Then the water lines were all PEX, and had to buy 3 different fittings to go from the PEX fitting to a Shark fitting, to a compression fitting, which the faucet had.
It was somewhat a pain getting the parts and tools, but it worked great after fixing one leak!
