Hi Forum Folke,
I have a Peerless RP70196 two-handle kitchen faucet with independent spray head (see pic.)
The spray pattern from the sprayhead is just all messed up; streams of water shooting off in all different directions, some holes entirely blocked.
I've done the soak-in-vinegar thing; even tried heating the vinegar to accelerate the process. Used a cutting-torch-tip cleaner to ream out the holes as best I could; still, the spray pattern is nowhere near the nice, even, all-holes-equal-and-straight pattern it had when new.
I'd like to get the thing apart for a good mechanical cleaning (lot of particulate junk in the water supply; small stuff, usually passes through, but getting caught in the sprayhead. Shows up in the shower-head too).
I simply cannot see any setscrews, pins, or any other kind of retainer to start the process. I know the thing was a pile of parts once, and it was assembled into it's current form, so it must be possible to reverse the process. Any clue as to how that might be done? Thanks!!
