Date added: 07/12/2012 Cleaning A Pull-Out Spray Faucet

“A pull-out spray faucet is a hand-held sprayer you can pull out from the main or auxiliary spout on the kitchen faucet,” says Mr Rooter. Bob Beall, president of Mr. Rooter Plumbing Pittsburgh says, “indeed, in many sinks so equipped, it is the faucet spout.”This type of faucet head has evolved quite a bit over the years, according to Beall. 

“Older models had a large heavy brass check valve in the line (to keep water from flowing backward) and these would chatter.” The most referred plumbing franchise in the world, Mr Rooter, offers free plumbing tips daily through Mr. Rooter Media Center. “If the pull-out chatters, replace it.”Newer models, according to Beall, feature a check valve made as a small plastic one-way button in the bottom of the handle.
