price pfister flow restrictor

[bni...@my-deja.com]

Does anyone know how to remove this darn thing? This in on the pull-out
sprayer model. I unscrewed the sprayer from the hose. Looking into the
threaded end of the sprayer, I can see an annular white disk surrounding
a round white disk. This seems to be the flow restrictor but after an
hour trying to get it with a coat hanger, I've only succeeded in moving
it a couple of inches. What's the trick?

Thanks,

Barry

Usually, I can remove these with needle-nose pliers. Get a good grip on the
plastic piece and pull hard!

My husband has removed the flow restrictors on all of our
Price-Pfister faucets over which he has sole or shared
jurisdiction...(that's most of them). I know it was very easy, and I
think it involved removing part of the aerator. Ours are not pull-out
sprayer models, though--they're the traditional kind. That might make
a difference...

When I installed our new detachable massaging shower head, my wife
IMMEDIATELY insisted that I remove the flow restricter. I wonder why? <g>

Phurst, you hafta phull out the restrictor with a phair of phliers.
After that, it'll spray like a normal phaucet unless you phug-up the
phaucet threads.
