squirt

[nephi007]

howdy. Got a dinky cut/slice in galley kitchen spout which squirts when faucet opened. it's original equipment so it's a plastic tupe. How to fix? Dealer sez to order entire unit is $35.00. I suggested silicone caulking. Dealer said temporary fix msybe super glue. I counteted with JB Weld.. Advise please

great a true fix it guy.

ok all good advise. We agreed the replacing the faucet with a residential model is the way to go. Since we are in boonies I bought something called PC Marine epoxy putty which sealed the crack to hold it to we get back to town,

Heat a screw driver or something else small, metal and pointy on the stove and smooth over the leaking area.

you don,t need to be a rocket scientist to change it, and if your not handy we all have a friend that loves to tinker.

Right answer. Take the old off first and take that with you to the store. Find a replacement with the same distance between the hot and cold, or be prepared to drill new holes in the counter.

I agree big box store or Habitat resale store.

Pictures and make of RV also help.

Although I am also in favor of replacement, if you are not concerned about appearance then J B Weld often works wonders.

Down nailed it. The spacing of the holes can vary, so take the old one or measure and order from Amazon.
Amazon and next day delivery may be your cheapest option.

GO to Home Depot and buy a residential kitchen faucet and replace that piece of plastic RV junk.....which is just going to continue to give you issues

And if that is too expensive...RVs might NOT be the right hobby.

Spend $35?
