This a 2 part story.
Hated the bathroom faucet. I sure everyone knows why . (it Spits across room when it hits air bubbles )
and while i was at it i also replace the hose going to it with pex.
The faucet is only $29.95 at amazon and fits perfectly, for those of you considering. The photo of the faucet is attached .
Also The Black Tank Vacuum Breaker leaked on me once when i had a "Montana" (dirty word) so i know eventually i would have to service it. (you have to disguard it --it is NOT repairable--plastic junk)
On the solitude 378mbs it is located behind the shower and axcessible in the lower bathroom closet by removing a panel. There is no way i can get both arms in that closet to do any work. and the hole behind the shower faucet is way too small .
On the Montana it was located under the bathroom sink and i had no trouble working in that area.
I , like others, cut the hose in the basement ceiling and reworked it into the bathroom sink cabinet.
At the same time i did away with that plastic piece of junk and replaced it with a brass check valve and a 1/2" Watts vacuum Breaker . (i've used this type of breaker in my business for over 30 years and it is reliable . What even better is there are rebuild kits available at a fraction of the Vac cost.
