[BlindHandyMan] Kitchen faucet
Aloha, I have decided that after trying everything and anything that everyone suggested to stop the whistle in my kitchen faucet, that I have had it and am buying a new one. I would like advice as to what I might buy that is likely to last just about forever. A couple of friends have suggested a Delta and another one said a Kohler. We do not have hard water. Thoughts? Suggestions? Types never to buy?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Kitchen faucet
I have a plumber friend who has always recommended Moen. http://www.moen.com I have these in both kitchen and bath. My kitchen one is quite unique it is called a high riser. The spout pulls up about 8inches so large pots and buckets can fit under. The head can change from normal flow to a spray for rinsing. The single lever handle sits to the right of the fixture where the sprayer hole is in the sink. - Original Message - From: "Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "blindhandyman-yahoogroups.com" Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 2:33 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Kitchen faucet Aloha, I have decided that after trying everything and anything that everyone suggested to stop the whistle in my kitchen faucet, that I have had it and am buying a new one.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Kitchen faucet
I personally like the better grade Delta. They also have a life time warranty. But the others are a good brand, as long as you buy the metal - Original Message - From: Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press To: blindhandyman-yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 2:33 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Kitchen faucet Aloha, I have decided that after trying everything and anything that everyone suggested to stop the whistle in my kitchen faucet, that I have had it and am buying a new one.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] KITCHEN FAUCET QUESTION
And on something similar - I need to fit a new washer to my very hard to turn off cold water tap, and I'm not sure how to get at the washer. The tap has a circular disk on the top that looks as if it should prise off, but doesn't with my thumb nail. Basic job I know, but would be grateful for some guidance.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] KITCHEN FAUCET QUESTION
Hi, These differ a little, you may find that as you move the lever to increase the water flow the range from hot-to-cold and back increases. Some swing in a more or less rotation movement for mixing but more or less up and down to increase/decrease the flow. Once installed you should discover it works well.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] KITCHEN FAUCET QUESTION
Glenn and Dale, this is really very helpful; I've prised the disk off the top, and can feel the screw, so when I've got time on Friday, I'll have a go.
