I purchased a Price-Pfister single-handle w/ side spray faucet (I don't
know the model number any longer but 39-4NSS looks very close to it) for
the kitchen seven years ago and have been fighting a handle-based leak that
has even stumped my FIL. Hat in hand, I now turn to the August Members of
the 'group for suggestions and recommendations yet again.

The leak is becoming torrential; every time the lever is used to dispense
water, a portion (upwards of 3-5%) runs out the back and onto the
back-counter area. I have not noticed a decrease in water pressure but if
I set a towel behind the leak to catch the water, it'll soak the towel by
the end of each extended use.

I've taken the entire faucet apart, lubed each washer, cranked down each
fastener, and still water is escaping. I'm _sure_ it's simple, I'm just
not seeing it.

As always, any assistance would be appreciated.

Call them. They will send new parts to pfix it. We had a brand new fprice
phdister phoset and thought it was a piece of sh*t.
It was one of the purdy stainless ones too. It would not flow enough water.
We ended up sh*tcanning that rather expensive
piece of Sh*t and getting a real faucet. I will never buy their crap again.
