kitchen faucet replacement

gotsmart, the shut offs are a very good idea! Never thought about that.

I recommend adding shut-offs if there aern't any at present. As you can see, my shut-offs go from PEX to threaded.

Some Sharkbite fittings will connect copper to PEX. Pricey though.

In my case the female fittings on the end of the PEX tubes screwed right onto the male fittings on the ends of the copper faucet supply lines.

I replaced our kitchen faucet with a Moen with pull out sprayer wand. I had to use a hole saw on the plastic sink where the supply tubes go to make room for the sprayer hose, but other than that it was a drop in replacement.

The bathroom faucet was a drop in replacement but as others have said it was easier to remove the sink. Space is really limited under the sink on mine.

There is a huge difference between a residential faucet and an rv faucet.
The residential is 100 times better!
You can replace an rv with a residential faucet. I replaced my kitchen faucet with a residential and it was one of the best mods ever. Even my wife who was unhappy about the new faucet costing money loves it.

Take your current faucet with you when you go shopping. You'll be able to check that the hole spacing is what you need, and buy any adapters to account for stem length differences. By taking you old faucet out first, you can look under the sink for other issues you will encounter. I found some faucets had copper tubing for their supply, and connecting those to the pex supply lines would have been impossible. I ended up with a pull-out sprayer faucet with flexible supply lines that worked great.

We replaced ours and the job is a lot easier if you remove the sink to do it.

Nothing special. I had to remove the sink to get at the plumbing when I replaced mine.

Base on experience, there is no difference between stick and brick kitchen faucet and an rv kitchen faucet, as a matter of fact yu can use a regular kitchen faucet on RV's.

Thanks guys

Verify spacing before running to store. Yes, the majority are the same and should be 8 inch centers.
