Solution to the most common design...If you can pull the stopper completely out of the drain with no resistance, do this. On the back side of the tailpiece that attaches to the bottom of the bowl, there is a rod coming out of the back side that has a nut holding it in. Unscrew that nut and pull the rod out part of the way. There usually is a loop molded into the plastic on the lower end of the stopper where that rod inserts into. Turn the stopper until that loop is aligned toward the faucet and insert back into the drain but not all the way (keep it held up about 1/4-1/2 inch from completely closed). Reach under the sink and feel for the rod while you are holding the stopper in place and push it back in while you "feel" for the loop. You will know it is inside the loop when you can't pull the stopper out with not resistance. Screw then nut back onto the threads and finger tighten it until it has enough friction to hold itself at any position.Hope it helps...

It is likely that the o-rings have worn or broken down and are in need of replacement. Pfister provides a Troubleshooting Guide to walk you through possible solutions:

You need an aerator wrench, Pfister part number 941-031. Several vendors on the web carry this part.

check the sprayer handle by disconnecting and blowing into it and pressing sprayer handle and/or for possible kink at main body or hose by disconnected sprayer point hose into sink and turn on water. If no water the the diverter in main body is not working properly and needs to be reassembled or replaced

Check the nozzle is not adjustable in which case move it to the direction you want as manufacturers are not going to make a tap that points any where but down unless it is adjustable.

2. Thanks to Danny Paccho I purchased a wrench to use in removing the sleeve from Geers Plumbing
3. Then , removed the \'87 Price Pfister faucet housing from the basin by disconnecting the 2 pipes under the basin and removing the top basin nut; inserted the wrench into the top, turning counter-clockwise until it locked (er tightened a bit) and hammered it out ,gently?, to not damage the escutcheon threads , or the basin nut.

I also needed to remove the "hidden" flow restricters from my Price Pfister Parisa Kitchen Pull out faucet. The hot water side had never flowed the same as the cold side. Now both sides are flowing the same as should have been all along.

There should have been a new rubber seal with the purchased replacement. If not you need to contact the supplier and let them know it was not in your package.

The handel should pull off it must me caroded up try pulling and twisting it at the same time.

You need to replace the spray diverter valve. It is located on the main body, below the spout, in the sleeve at the base of the spout. The main pivotint sleeve of the spigot. The valve is usually in the rear.

A check valve only allows flow in one direction. It will close if the flow tries to go backwards. I have never heard of one on a car. The coolant sensor is just that, and almost every car has one somewhere. Take a look in Chiltons Auto Repair manual to verify the presence or function of a coolant check valves. I would expect the coolant sensor to be easily accessible and not all that expensive- maybe $50 at the most, and screw-in like a spark plug, unless the Stratus' is extra special.

The Price Pfister web site has a video showing you how to disconnect the hose. Basically, you have to push the hose end into the junction block and then grasp the gray plastic fitting, pull the fitting, NOT the hose, away from the junction block. This sounds good in theory, but when upside down with your hands stuck in a small crevase under the sink, it can be a real challenge. Go to the Price Phister web site and watch the video. Good luck.

Re the 'falling handle' issue, I think you misunderstood the problem, jgwhomeequip. Unfortunately for me I bought *two* similar Price Pfister faucets and both had the same problem - the water wouldn't stay on and the handle just wouldn't stay up.
I took mine apart looking for something to adjust, fruitlessly. Put it back together and have lived with it like that for ~2 years.

Finally I decided to not be a knucklehead any longer and call the manufacturer. Once I got through to their rep (on a Saturday no less!) she helped me identify the model I had (a 533-50SS, just FYI), and asked me 'what finish'? I replied 'stainless steel' and she promptly replied, 'I'm going to mail you out new lighter handles to replace the ones you have'.

Brilliant! Gold star for PP for standing behind their product well past the warranty for what was apparently a common problem. Replacing the handle will take about 10 seconds per faucet.

I only wish I had got of my a$$ and called them 2 years ago.

Hi seawitch678,

If you have a granite or stone countertop/sink, use silicone as plumber's putty will stain the stone. Plumber's putty is petroleum based so it will not adhere to stone. Normally you should use what the manufacturer recommends and where they recommend. When installing a faucet, put either around the base of any piece that goes through the countertop.

Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,

Is the plate damaged? If so you should be able to get another at the hardware store. Will it slip over the sprayer? If not you will need to turn the water off at the cut off and unscrew the sprayer hose the pull hose through the sink hole and put the plate over the hole then the hose goes back through the hole and screw it back on under sink. It should be good to go.

They are wrong. There is no O-Ring at the swivel joint and it is NOT serviceable.

If you look closely at part 25a, you will find two flat spots on each side of the ring. Clamp those flat areas with vice grips and turn.

how to replace flex hose

Most are 3/8 hose if you can take it off most supply houses should have them. Or check lowes or howe depot. Just take it with you to match length and pipe size up.
