New faucet with spray for kitchen

[jsk125]

Hey folks .. I have a 2022 Rockwood 2511s ... I want to swap out the faucet for one with a retracting sprayer .. I looked online and saw mostly larger home style ..

- Has anyone done this - and do you have a link to the product?
- How challenging is it to swap out? I haven't even looked

Oh, and lesson learned - in the spring shake down, tighten the hot and cold hook ups to the faucets - I had a small leak that went all night .. easy to fix, but now I'll tighten each spring as well.

Thanks

My experience is that the mounting holes are standard household sink dimensions. Choose any faucets you want usually one hole or 3 hole. .

As far as size there is a world of possibilities

Pretty standard with 8" centers. the critical part is making sure that the new fixture will mount to you existing water supply lines. Some of residential faucets are 1/2", others are 3/8". Just so you know.

Fortunately, the worst case scenario means one more trip to the big box store for adapters. Often, it's those armored flex hoses. It seems like you can get them with any combination of fittings on the ends.

I did it with a nice Moen. Removed the crappy RV specific fittings and used shark bite shut off valves on the PEX, which the faucet supply lines connected directly to.

My cheapo factory faucet blew a hose off the base of the faucet. We caught it quickly, because we were boondocking and the pump started running for "no reason."

Went to a nearby True Value and found a great faucet with a pull-out spray head and installed it in a few minutes...we were down for only about 3 hours...most of that driveing to the hardware store, shopping for a faucet we liked, and driving back. The swap took no time.

I have switched two faucets. The issue is being able to get at the plumbing fixtures. On some RVs it is nearly impossible. My last one with a sprayer, cost 40 bucks on Amazon. It was a residential unit so I had to by two adapters as others have said for 20 dollars at ACE. On Amazon the cost is 10 dollars for both.

On my Coachman, it is my opinion that the manufacturer mounted the faucet
on the sink prior to placing the sink in the kitchen counter.

2024 Flagstaff Micro Lite 22fbs kitchen faucet

Does the kitchen faucet on a 2024 or 2025 Flagstaff Micro Lite 22fbs not have a pull-down sprayer? In some pictures I've seen it looks like something is hanging or dangling from the end of the faucet, but this thread makes me think it is not a sprayer.

Same here. It looks like the cheap $40 faucets have the same rubber cartridge I had on my original faucet. The Moen and I imagine any quality home faucet just sprays so much better. A lot better control with the amount of water flow.

Glad I spent the extra money on one.

Did have to get an adapter for the hose or a different PEX fitting, something like that.

Our original faucet leaked after a year from the bottom. Installed a Moen that had about the same height and reach as the original. Used adapters rather than shark bites. The separate deck plate was not installed.

Everytime I use it now I smile. Sooooo much better than the crappy OEM fixture I had.

Care to give the model number of the faucet you upgraded to? I've become accustomed to the factory faucet but have often wished it had a pull out spray to keep from getting water all over the countertop.

I swapped mine a couple of days ago

very happy I now got a sprayer
hole was standard so no drama there

But before you purchase one make sure under your sink you got unobstructed room for the weight

bought one very similar to what pictured above
had to cut off the trailer's original PEX fittings and installed sharkbite fittings ...

the new sharkbites incorporated valves so I can adjust flow rate , now no where near amount of water splashing around

shark bites got from hardware store... one was on special 50% off so for 2 only paid $20.00

also worked out how to unscrew cartridge if it ever needed changing
they used a standard cartridge that was available

I just ordered a very similar faucet that I plan to install this weekend along with a new city water connection.

Darn near the same one. Mine has a power spray button on the same side as the selector button to increase the pressure if you want to get some more suds.

Not really sure it is going to take off dried on food, it ain't a pressure washer.

 

[reidfo]

This is what I ordered. Base plate is optional. I'll see if it's any good this weekend.

Just glad I had to replace the joke sink the camper came with, about same size as airline lavatory. Working through a drawer slot at the end to put the sink clamps on sucked, but at least with sink out plumbing new fixture was not bad.

Thank you for the model information. Something to consider over the upcoming holiday season.
