Another Galley Faucet Replacement
Have been watching for a good sale on kitchen faucets. And, one came along.
This was an easy replacement. Standard 8" centers and this gets us a single lever control.
Water flow is dramatically improved over the OEM minimal flow faucet.
The new metal faucet weighs easily 3 times the OEM plastic unit.
Only "complication" to the project was that when Cate saw the new installation in the Reflection . . . I was dispatched to get another one, exactly the same, for our kitchen at home .

We are on our 3rd faucet on Solitude 369. Problem is when I switch to spray, it will not revert back to solid flow. We have a metal faucet that looks like the one you attached. Reading your issue sounds like we need to look at our 3rd OEM one to see if it is flow restricted.

We have one that looks similar to that in our 385TH and discovered a leak under it. I thought it was the pipe connections but it looks like it may be in the fixture itself leaking down inside where the copper tubes come out.

If you don't mind sharing, what is the brand and supplier? I think it's time for an upgrade in ours.

Hi Jim,
This is a Cuisinart Elisa Model. Normally, I don't buy "unusual brand" plumbing fixtures because seals and cartridges are difficult to find in the future . . . but at $100 (Cdn) and an easy installation, this is essentially "throw away" when it needs replacing.
You don't really realize how "cheap" the OEM faucet assembly is, until you get it out. I doubt that Grand Design pays $20 for these.
Installation was (amazingly) straight forward. Didn't need any adapters and didn't need to get into undoing the pex crimps. Undid the hand tightened connections to the old faucet and connected them to the new one.

Rob--Jim beat me to the punch asking which one you installed......easy installation sounds wonderful.......going to get one too. Our factory one has not cracked and is working great but it is just a matter of time or being bumped too hard or maybe just looked at wrong and it will probably take a dump !
Thanks,

The only source I could find was Canadian Tire, and they wanted $219 for it!

It never occurred to me that this would be an "only in Canada" product !
I did get it at Canadian Tire and that was the original retail price. I also can't find any other retailer but Canadian Tire.
(Canadian Tire is a major hardware retail chain in Canada that sells a much broader range of products than their name would imply)
There is nothing really special about this faucet. I went in looking for a similar Moen product (which would have been $200), but the Cuisinart was 50% off so I thought I wold give it a try. So far so good (both RV and house installations were no fuss and are working well so far).
I wouldn't worry about finding this exact model . . . there are many similar products in any plumbing or big box hardware store.

Thanks for this information. I just asked on the Facebook group if anyone had ever replaced the plastic faucet in their Reflection and if the fittings worked without adapters. After asking it I found this thread and went back and deleted the question. Thanks, another thing on my list.
