faucet that cannot be left on just a trickle
I have a single handle bath faucet that shuts itself off when I want just a
trickle of flow, caused by gravity and the weight of its handle. My solution is to add a counter weight: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/7020105_3XFKR However, this doesn't look very elegant. Do you have another suggestions? It doesn't have to be perfect; any improvement over mine is welcome. In case you wonder, the faucet is this model: http://www.pricepfister.com/bath/Product/042-AMFC.aspx# I don't want to replace the faucet -- not worth the trouble. (sorry if you get duplicate post; my first post didn't show after a few days so I re-post on a different server) |

Just tighten ever so slightly. Chris |

Look carefully at the picture (hover over upper-right and click original) wood backsplash pop-up drain bottle of Drano Max (http://www.prestosupply.net/store/images/ j30015.jpeg) reflection of naked woman taking the picture I don't think it is a public washroom |
