Single hole pull out kitchen faucet in 2000 LXI - luckyron1 - 05-21-2010 09:05 Looked like a simple job at first glance. Ordered the brushed nickle one from PPL motorhomes. Got it, looks good. Checked out the installation instructions & hell even I could do it. Looked again, not so fast, the sink is in the kitchen slide out and the copper water lines coming off of the faucet are of different lengths then the ones coming out of the new one. I sure don't want to get involved in any pipe cutting/welding, and I'm not sure if those poly red and white water lines will pull/push adjust once I get the old one out of there. Maybe I should call a plumber? Anyone been there? Thanks. Ron & Ruth in MN summer camp 2000 LXI Single hole pull out kitchen faucet in 2000 LXI - morey - 05-22-2010 12:11 We got ours at Lowes. The new faucet had shorter supply lines coming out. So just got some short braided hook up lines, had to get two new brass reducers so the braided could hook up to the BB supply lines. The braided lines were a little long, so just put a loop in the braided lines and hooked up. Did the same thing on the two vanity faucets we replaced. Single hole pull out kitchen faucet in 2000 LXI - luckyron1 - 05-25-2010 09:52 Yeah... the lines coming out of the new one are a little bit longer than the ones coming out of the original. I'm going to have to either cut them back or push them back I'm afraid. Who knows what kind of problems I might run into there. I'm thinking.... maybe I ought to try it with the slide in. Anyone else out there? 2000 LXI in MN for summer --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "luckyron1" > > Looked like a simple job at first glance. Ordered the brushed nickle one from PPL motorhomes.

I think you're right to be afraid of the unknown. Brad Barton former 2000LXi. "bbartonwx@hotmail.com" http://www.bradsweather.com To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com From: luckyron1@...

Single hole pull out kitchen faucet in 2000 LXI - luckyron1 - 06-02-2010 20:56 I finally managed to remove and replace the original faucet. A real learning experience. The original had odd sized female coupling, i.e. threaded nuts on the ends. The new one had male coupling, i.e. just 1/2" threaded ends. I had to use 20" SS 1/2" x 3/8" braided lines between the faucet and the water lines. The original connection had a 1/2" brass nipple with a cone washer on the supply side and an odd sized brass reducer nipple on the faucet side, which I had to change out to a 3/8" to match the braided line. I had wanted to eliminate the reducer and go 1/2" all the way but I could not find a 1/2" double nipple configured for a cone washer on the supply end. A real learning experience.
