I have a similiar style faucet, and it started spraying water at the neck connection. Pulled it, found a damaged o-ring near the bottom section. Couldnt find the exact o-ring, but was sold one that "should" work. Following day, leaking again. Removed and used the exact diameter o-ring, but we had to cut it from a long length, and use CA glue(super gue) to make a custom length o-ring, which they say is an approved method in the field, reinstalled and it started leaking the following day... What am i missing here? Should i just swap out entire unit? Was hoping to save some money and just repair the leak. Does the collar at the neck have somekind of seal that im missing? Thanks
@@ChuckBarron thanks for the reply. Its leaking right at the neck connection. I removed and found a bad o-ring, but now wonderig if there was supposed to be another seal in there thats missing....
@@ChuckBarron Thank you I will try, but its an older faucet. Il try and find a name on it. Thats what i was wondering, if it had a plastic washer that goes under the threader collar.
Chuck... wondering how you acquired all the pro press tools.... a lot of 💰.... I’m going to pull the trigger (Ha) and would love to hear from you where you got yours... thanks in advance if you don’t mind!!!
Why pliers instead of an exact sized open end or even an adjustable wrench? Pliers won’t round off the nuts as easily as a crescent wrench, eh? Am upgrading the kitchen with new countertops, sink and faucet. Does T & S make a bridge style faucet with an 8” spread?
You need a wrench that does not scratch the chrome steel bro
how come you still have a small gap between the base of the faucet and the sink?
air gap?
it still moves
I am having a hell of a time getting a watertight connection on the hot side, I'm using teflon and pipe dope .
plumbing is a mind melt. should not be that problematic. something wrong.
@@ChuckBarron it took 3 tries and finally watertight . its a str8 thread and that is problematic .
I cant get the mounts off. Theres a thin brass nut on the back of each. My new faucet has larger dia mounts and need to install those first.
Why did you replace the whole thing? Why not just replace the defective washer or bonnet seal? You just ripped your customer right the fuck off.
No rip off Matt....I've been down the repair road. I learned the hard way too. The customer got more value out of a replacement in this case.

swapping out is 100% fix for sure...if its just spout you can purchase spout as a fix too.
@@ChuckBarron thanks for the reply.

Pliers with no teeth... nicknamed “Kensington’s “ in respect to the fine residents of a section of Philly where dental care isn’t a priority!!!
Yes.....I need em for sure. I spent some time in that lovely part. my plumbing van was stolen from south jersey and ended up in kensington.
