I have a new kitchen faucet by Price Pfister. A Bacharach model,
IIRC. It has one lever, left and right, up and down to adjust the
temp and flow.


My problem is that when it is used at a slow water flow rate, the
weight of the handle causes the handle to drop and shuts off the
water. I just pulled the setscrew and handle, and I cannot see any
adjustment on there. Just a large nut down inside a collar that
would be hard to grasp.


I threw away the directions. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I made the mistake of buying a P-F set like that some time ago. It
was hassle to install, got funky inside of a year, never made it to
the second year because the cheap brass alloy rotted out and leaked.
Replaced it with Kohler, no leaks, no adjustments needed, stout and
reliable. My advice, don't waste your time on the turkey.
Fundamentally, single control designs are far less robust then the
conventional two handle types. Get any other brand like Kohler,


Put one of these Kohler's inhttp://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=62odsa0

Delta,
Moen, whatever, and remember that $ spent on cute come from $ spent on
longevity. HTH


Spent almost $300 bucks on it...worth every dime so far.

Suggest you get the cartridge from PF and as some one who has been in
the trade for a few years 1 the parts are avaible at the store you
bought it at 2 Well kohler is good try and find a store with the
parts. 3 If this is brand new it will do this for a week or two then
the promblem will go away as the cartridge lube will settle in.
