[C320-list] Installation of new galley sink faucet

[Larry Frank via C320-list]

Following the suggestions and advice of others on this list I am replacing
the galley sink faucet on WindSwept. I am nearing completion of the
project but have a question or concern that I would like to discuss with
those who have already completed this project about. The faucet I
purchased has a pull-out sprayer. The hose to this sprayer includes a
weight to pull the hose down and sprayer nozzle back in place when not in
use. I am concerned about this weight swinging about in the space behind
the drawer unit while sailing and doing damage. Has this been a problem and
did anyone take steps to minimize the movement of the weight? On WindSwept
there is quite a bit of hot and cold water tubing in this area.



Thank you in advance for sharing your advice and experience.

Hi Larry,

CAT320, 2002 901

Our rally project began with a simple drain hose replacement. Quickly expanded to both sink drains and attached hoses. Then we decided to change the faucet.

While the sink was out, the new faucet installed also had a pull out spray. We set the weight as close as possible to the space between the water heater and bottom of the sink ( measuring the maximum hose extension desired). After that we secured the hose with a zip tie (electrical type to screw to the back of sink enclosure). Gave enough slack to allow the hose to move freely).

We also covered the heavy ball with hose foam and tapped it secure to prevent banging noise.


So far it works great! No issues. Sink, new faucet and all new below sink drain hoses installed. Job done. Hope this helps you.

We just let our hose hang freely. It has not been a problem at all.

Our pull out sprayer has not been any problem. Works great.
