Damned faucet manufacturers seem to delight in making attachment 'non
standard', particularly when dealing with "cartridges" and their
replacement installation.

I hate Moen, and a few others. Delta seems to be pretty good for parts.

I'm still waiting on Kohler to deliver parts for two, 12 year old
faucets, on the same vanity, which failed within days of each other.

I had to get parts for my Dad's (now gone) Kohler bathroom faucet. 70 +
years old, and they had them...

Synchronized obsolescence.

Perhaps they don't make them like they used to.
