TS2 - Spout is difficult to swivel and/or a leak at the spout base

Water supply valves need not be shut off but do NOT open the single lever valve until the repair is complete! Remove lime and calcium deposits prior to disassembly. Use white vinegar or a commercially available product. Use NSF-61 certified silicone (plumber's) grease to lubricate all O-rings and moving parts before reassembly.

  • Unscrew knurled spout retaining ring
  • Pull spout straight up to remove

Prep for new O-ring

  • Remove the O-ring from the spout base
  • Thoroughly clean the spout base - Do NOT scratch the surface
