Old Faithful...my sink faucet

[DuneJunkie]

So, our water pump was on, and in the middle of the night the cold water knob on the sink in the front sleeper shot to the ceiling and water was shooting out of it!
So, I turned the water pump off which stopped the geyser going on, and in the morning attempted to repair it. I believe I found all of the pieces, however, once I put it back together, ( I used the hot water side as a demo ) it still does not totally secure the cold water when the pump is on. Since we do leave our pump on I don't want to have to use the pump switch to secure the water.
So my question is this. I don't see a model number or anything on the faucet to find a replacement. Any suggestions?
Or, can the "guts" just be replaced rather than the entire faucet?

Anyone been down this road?

I laughed at your post because it was something I could totally see happening to us. Bad move. Got to Riley Ranch this afternoon and every thing went smoothly. Too smoothly (cue ominous music). As I was kicking back drinking a beer and patting myself on the back for handling everything myself with 2 off the charts ADHD kids (7 & 14) I heard running water. Uhoh!!!! I thought I winterized the trailer, but leaking pipes ALL OVER the trailer say otherwise. Oh cr@p. I'll deal with it after this trip. Water is overrated anyway.

Not too sure what the `guts' are but if it has a cartridge take it to the hardware store and get a replacement but be sure to take the old one as a sample; all cartridges are not the same.

Yep...no big boxes around there for sure.

I agree, it sure is a nice place, but a bit inconvenient when you need certain things.

My model number was stamped under the plastic base, had to remove to see info. After removing faucet and seeing how cheap RV faucets were I picked up new faucet. Only mistake I made was not matching up length of threaded pipe and had to go back and buy longer feeder lines. But now have one with higher arc and water is now directed into center of sink and with arc coffer pot is a breeze to fill in morning.

P.S. our water pump is now turned off when we leave RV and at night.

I am wondering if I just replaced the "guts" of it, if I would fix the problem. After some "google" education....

maybe this mite do the trick

Ace hardware should have a good selection, or one of the local plumbing supply stores will have one. Pick what you like.
