My kitchen has an American Standard pull-out faucet. The screens fell out of the aerator assembly. It looks like the plastic in the faucet cracked. Can I replace just the aerator or do I need to replace the entire handle assembly? If I bring the handle to Ferguson’s tomorrow would they be able to help me? Thanks

Without a picture, hard to say.
Sometimes the spray handles can be gotten from the manufacturer. Is this a recent faucet, or years old?

It’s at least 6 years old. I lived here for almost 6 years. I’ve attached pics of the faucet. Thanks for taking the time to look.

The aerator will spin and as a complete unit. All you need is the aerator there.

Is this what you have?

Yes, that is what I think I have.

do I use a needle nose to spin the aerator out?
