Hi all, joined recently (donated 10 bucks, website needs more!) and loving the forum savvy replies.
I'm a DIY-ish multi-home owner or maintainer. Today's challenge can wait for next year...
Summer cottage in York Maine has a cool porcelain OLD kitchen sink, which we like.
No center hole. 6 inches between center of the 2 holes of a
Price-Pfister ancient kitchen faucet. (shown in pic).
I CAN'T FIND 6 inch 2hole kitchen faucets new! Though I'd rather repair this one if kit exists/avail.
BOTTOM LINE more general and brand-agnostic:
are there any 6 inch 2-hole NEW kitchen faucets available anywhere?
OR to fix mine, which has the usual age-related annoyance:
washers/guts becoming harder and harder to tighten to eliminate drip.
Currently still usable. I WAS able to get and install perfect replacement HANDLES only
(the inner "metal?plastic" splines gave out so the old handle started spinning if cranked hard)
so I'm not in a rush yet (might replace if I must the faucet, next spring 2024!)
Would be easier to fix, but that may be a rathole of kit mismatch/unavailability confusion.
Still want to either replace the guts with a kit, OR, replace the UNUSUAL-these-days 6 inch faucet.
TMI for most anyone unless you have one of these......
I don't know the exact model, I even bought a kit for the model i THOUGHT it might have been/fit for,
but the kit was for a larger-handled shower setup (this style and look, they call the Verve handle/knob)
and the guts don't really care which knob look/style sits on them, but nicely, the kit I bought (then returned)
included a LARGER nearly-identical pair of handles so I knew the kit wouldn't work and I realized
it was for a LARGER tub and shower faucet, not kitchen.
Pfister web site tries to guide me to a kit, and it may be a S10-2100 but I suspect that's not my faucet.
I found an OEM ! kit on Amazon..... 2 pics shown here, leads to model + diagram confusion,
box says both model#s? S10-210 (not 2100 like Pfister website shows but that doesnt mean either is MY model).
The Amazon listing didn't state that it was TUB+SHOWER, but I learned stuff by buying+returning.
TOOL trivia:
I have a kit I've used to replace Symmons Temptrol tub and shower guts,
only mention it because it has some square drive tool(s) which might even
fit the Pfister guts/kit if I ever find the right kit. Documentation does indicate that a
square-drive? tool (not included) is needed to R+R. Shouldn't be hard to find one for Pfister if I need to,
but curious how many such tools exist and how much they fit across various brands. Thx in advance...
