Srayer leaking down the hose from pivot joint near spray head

We detected water under the sink, and after searching, noticed the cable to the faucet sprayer was wet. It looks like the pivot near the srayer may be leaking, especially when switching from a single spray to the multi hole spray. It is a Kohler K-10433 unit. Thank you for your time ! Regards, Bill

There is an oring in that connection that is most likey bad. turn water off and disconnect coupling to spayer. remove the black oring and match it up at your local hardware store. when installin it lubricate it with vaseline for ease of insatlltion and to help protect it during installation.

I had the exact same problem and fixed it. I called Kohler customer service at 1-800-4-KOHLER explained the situation and they sent me what they call a 'hose kit'. It is covered by the life time time limited warranty. the kit replaces the the hose between the quick connect and the spray head with all new O-rings, fittings, etc. It was done in about 5 minutes after I got the parts.
Hope this helps.

Leaking faucet

I've had problems with the O-rings at the head leaking, feeding back inside the corrugated hose covering, and pooling under the sink. Might be your problem as well. Verify by holding the head downward, and look for water beading out further up the hose.

My Blanco Torino faucet is leaking under the button when you press the button on top to use the spray.

Check the hose connections at the spray head nozzle it sounds like it is leaking there and running down the hose and ending up under the sink.

We have a Delta kitchen faucet with a pullout sprayer everything was fine for over a year then it started making a bang bang rattle sound very loud only when the hot water is on it only does it about ever...

Delta comes with a limited lifetime warranty. call them to get free parts. I believe you will need to check several things. Remove the spray head from the sprayer hose, point the hose into the sink drain and turn the faucet on. If it no longer makes the banging noise, replace the spray head. You need to look for a leaking spray hose under the sink also. If the faucet is making noise, replace the ball and cam assembly under the faucet handle. One other thing that I have run into is that the shut-off valves under the sink can also go bad and cause banging and vibration.

Slow and nonexistent water flow.

Start by removing the spray head from the hose. Pull the spray head out and with a channel lock pliers unthread connection between the spray head and hose. BE CAREFUL not to let the hose fall back down into the faucet. With the hose directed down toward the sink test for volume by turning on the faucet. If you get a nice volume the problem is in the spray head. This is usually the case. Put the spray head back on then remove the aerator. It's the screen where the water comes out of the spray head. Clean out the assembly ( 3-4 parts). Reassemble and test.

Good luck, Phil
