Leaking Kitchen Faucet!

Our kitchen faucet is leaking around the leveler when we raise it above the half way mark. Is there something in the valve that can be tightened or adjusted to stop the leak?

CW was just going to replace ours after it began leaking. I took it apart and noticed corrosion on the threads and I couldnt tighten the gasket collar. I put it into a pan and boiled to a few minutes which loosened the large nut assembly and i was able to take it apart, clean it up, lubricate it, reassemble it and now after 5 years it still is working good.

I vote to replace with a residential ceramic cartridge unit, and be done with the crummy quality RV faucet!

This was my fix.

I replaced the old kitchen faucet with this WaterRidge ITM./ART. 705475 faucet and soap dispenser. I purchased it at Costco for less than $90.00. My old faucet would leak water all over the place.

I had the exact problem. This faucet spray is more powerful than the old one and will give you a bath if you are not careful. I also got the soap dispenser with this new one.

Oh, it does pull out also just like the original.

This faucet is brand new. I just bought the trailer 2 weeks ago. I was wondering if there was a way to tighten or adjust the washer somehow?
