[BlindHandyMan] KITCHEN FAUCET QUESTION
Hi all, First of all, please be kind to me, I don't know anything about faucets. Ok, We need a new kitchen faucet and we bought one. It is one of those faucets that has the lever for both hot and cold water.The lever on the new faucet doesn't really move much, I don't see how this one is going to work at alldo any of you know why this new faucet's lever is almost paralyzed? Thanks, Sparkey [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

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.

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. Thanks again, and i'll be back if I get stuck - Andy - Original Message - From: Andy Collins To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 9:48 PM Subject: 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.
