Kitchen faucet leaking pull down sprayer spout type

I have a price pfister kitchen faucet with a high arc with a pull down sprayer head. When the faucet is turned on water drips from the bottom of the loop of metal tubing which hangs down inside the cabinet when the sprayer head is in the retracted position. It drips in all other positions also. This type of sprayer adjusts from flow to aerated spray by twisting the head while it is firmly seated in the faucet spigot. It is new but I don't know the model number and of course can't find any documentation. It is a three hole faucet with a kind of raised base in which the handles and spigot fit. I can't find my exact model on Price Pfister's site.

    Thanks. A more flexible friend of mine is going to get under the sink and disposal to take the handle assembly off later today. I will try replacing the o ring or gasket that I find there.

    The only 'fix' for this problem is to leave the flex head slightly out of the goose neck faucet, then the drip falls into the sink instead of running back up the faucet and coming out under the sink from the other end after it runs along the flex tubing inside. The flex head has a white plastic washer inside that the head attaches to and it is either designed very badly or is cracked, because there is a space you can see making it an almost closed c shape instead of an o shape, if you know what I mean. There seems to be no way to detach the head to reach the problem, nothing unscrews as far as I can see. No nut involved except for me, and possibly the designer.

    you dont have to get under sink just pull out hand held and loosen nut or you just may have to tighten

    sounds like you are leaking from the connection from hose to spray handle normally a o ring or rubber hose like gasket i would pull handle assembly and go to plumbing supply house and try to match

I have a Price Pfister 34 series kitchen faucet with pull down handle. I need to remove the diverter and have removed everything down to the spout assembly but I am unable to get the spout assembly off by...

How did you resolve the problem of removing the spout assembly? We also have a Price Pfister 34 series kitchen faucet and are trying to replace the diverter. Like you, we have removed everything down to the spout assembly, which will not simply lift off. We have tried letting it sit overnight with WD40, thinking it would loosen it up. No such luck. Then tried using white vinegar, thinking maybe there were calcium deposits holding it on. No luck. Please tell us that you were successful and how you got the victory over this stubborn thing!

How to replace a price pfister kitchen faucet sprayer

The sprayer should have a threaded fitting on the end of the hose. Unscrew old one from valve, pull hose out the top, feed new hose back down into cabinet and screw in to where old hose was attached.

Sprayer leaking from inside handle mechanism

although it is possible that the spray head has gone bad, it is more likely that the diverter mechanism inside the kitchen faucet needs replaced. When this part is defective, it allows full pressure from the faucet to go to sprayer head even though the sprayer is not triggered. The sprayer is not designed to handle full pressure when it is not spraying.

Price Pfister kitchen faucet two handle with gooseneck and pull down spray. The pull down sprayer will not stay up in the goosneck.

It may also be a missing weight on the sprayer hose, or that the sprayer hose is obstructed. Open up the cabinet under the sink and look a half-loop of the sprayer hose that should be hanging down from the underside of the faucet. It must be able to descend without obstruction as you return the sprayer to the body of the faucet. If it is resting on a box of dishwashing soap or otherwise obstructed, then it doesn't have it's full weight to counterbalance the weight of the sprayer head. Capice? It needs the weight of the hose to 'weight it down'. Also, there should be a donut-shaped weight around the hose that should be able to freely slide to tha lowest position of the half-loop as the sprayer is extended and returned. Make sure that's working too.
