Knows Just Enough about Plumbing to be Dangerous
We are looking to replace our kitchen sink pull-down faucet aerator/spray-head due to poor pressure. However, we have no idea what brand it is!
The connector on the hose is female, 3/4" inside diameter, 1/2" deep, about 12 TPI. You'd think that would help us determine what aftermarket spray-heads are compatible, wouldncha? But you'd be wrong. Almost all the ads just list what brands they're compatible with, not the actual specs. And I've been having no luck trying to find a listing of what makers use what specs.
We could possibly just get a Danco Smart Spray (which I think is what was on there before), and hope that the adapters it comes with does indeed include one compatible with ours... but apparently that is deliberately low-flow, and we think the problem is probably that, rather than a buildup of crud inside it. We did clean both the externally accessible screens, soaked it in vinegar, couldn't figure out how to disassemble it, and kinda... sorta... broke it....
Pix are attached. (Yes, the handle is not attached to the thing that holds the hose! Go fig. I've never seen that before. I'm hoping it helps ID the darn thing.)
So... any recommendations for something compatible and reasonably priced, that isn't low-flow, and does both "stream" and "spray"? Or at least a clue what brand to look for compatibility with, or suggestions where to find such a list?
Thanks,
Dave
