Hello All,
We have a fairly new kitchen. It was remolded about 5 years ago so everything is fairly new. The sprayer started to leak so I went to Home Depot and bought one of those standard sprayers.
To remove the existing sprayer, I had to unscrew the existing hose from the plumbing. When I tried to unscrew the hose, the bracket (lack of a better word) that holds the faucet in place disintegrated as it had rusted. Normally, things like faucets attach to the counter top via a plastic nut which tightens on the base of the faucet which is threaded. Not in my case. The bracket which was holding the faucet in place looks like the following picture. I am going from memory so the image may not match reality.
Questions - Has anyone seen this type of connector before? Does anyone know what it is called? Does anyone know where I can buy a new one?
