 Topic: Take care of your faucet handles!Posted: 22 Mar 2016 at 11:12am |

Of the two that I know of, they both broke when someone was alone in the pod, geyser shooting to the ceiling.. had to throw a towel over it and run to spigot at the pedestal.. Then had to find a home store and affect a field replacement..
This was exactly why we switched ours out proactively. |

Our hot water handle also broke. I was planning on buying a new faucet on Amazon but my son-in-law had a brilliant idea. We turned a longer wood screw in to the faucet connection and filled the handle with epoxy. Please the handle over the screw and taped it in place for one day. It looks brand new and seems to work. We are going on our first extended trip for this year in a few weeks so we will see if it paces the test. If not, I know where to get a new faucet.

In your case, it was just the handle extension that broke, several owners have had the entire cartridge and base come out.. it's apparently quite the event when it happens.. LOL |

Awesome! Nice to know that style of faucet might fit in my 171 if need be. It is the type I put in the house a few years back.

This was the sink I installed with it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012C2R4W?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 The hard part is cutting the hole. It is bigger than the stock sink. The cut close to the back wall was the hardest since I could not get a jigsaw in that close. I was able to use an oscillating tool with circular and flat blades to cut out and trim the hole to get the sink to fit. It just filled the space between the front and back shelf supports. http://www.harborfreight.com/variable-speed-oscillating-multi-tool-61219.html |
