Squeaking kitchen faucet
I installed a delta kitchen sink faucet, oh, about 8 years ago, more or
less. Single lever.... typical Delta. Anyway, a few weeks ago, it started squeaking when you rotate the faucet from one sink to the other....Hope that is "understandable." What I'm trying to say is that obviously, the faucet can swing in an arc, heck it probably can go 360, but we just move it around from one side of the sink to the other. Any easy fix to stop the squeak?. I'm thinking it must be from the O-rings and that I'll probably have to pull the thing apart or something, but if I do, what do I do then. Don't imagine I want to be squirting 3-1 oil in there.LOL. |

Squeaking kitchen faucet
Plumber's grease will work, or silicone. You'll have to pull off the
arm to get to the o-rings. Tom wrote: I installed a delta kitchen sink faucet, oh, about 8 years ago, more or less. Single lever.... typical Delta.
