Single hole pull out kitchen faucet in 2000 LXI
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.
Thanks for your input.

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.
