Is it easy for someone to replace a kitchen faucet?

Since it is dealing with water lines that will be attached to the faucet I would call someone to come in and do it. You could potentially break a water valve and damage your floors and kitchen. Best of luck.


Should a brand new high arch kitchen faucet drain the spout after the tap is turned off?

I just installed an American Standard kitchen faucet and it continues to run for a second or two after turning the handle. I called AS and they said it is because of the high arch and the location of the stop valve lower in the fixture. I think it may have more to do with this being a lower end kitchen faucet. During a bathroom remodel we installed a high arch Pegasus bathroom faucet and, while it is admittedly not at high as the kitchen faucet, it stop immediately and doesn't continue to run/drop at all. When I removed the Pegasus faucet filter at the spout, it behaves just like the kitchen faucet, so there's some sort of stop valve element at the spout of the Pegasus that isn't part of the AS faucet.

Why is there still a trickle of water in your kitchen faucet when main valve shut off - no trickle anywhere else?

Water is coming down from upstairs or it is back pressure from the water heater. If it is the water heater, it can come out of either side of the faucet.


Why does my newely installed kitchen sink faucet have no water pressure?

1. Check the aerator for obstructons. 2. Check to see the washer inside has not come loose and is jamming where the water comes out. 3. Check to see that the stop or shut off valve is open. 4. Check there is no air in the water pipes. 5. Check to see that no rust particles are jamming under the washer where the water comes out (only if you have galvanised piping).


When I turn off my kitchen faucet the water does not immediately stop. It drizzles out for a few seconds and then stops. What is the problem?

There are many faucets that do this. There is water between the end of the faucet and the valve. You turn it off, and the water comes out of that area. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about it.

How do you replace the valve in a Moen shower single handle faucet The faucet was installed in 2004. When you turn the handle to the left for hot the water stops. Hot water is present in the sink?

Turn the water off to the faucet. Remove the handle. The top of the faucet should unscrew to get to the ball valve. Replace the valve and gaskets then reassemble the faucet.
