Kitchen Faucet and Drains May 13, 2023, 06:47:46 pm Got the new faucet and drains in. Real purdy. These are the drains that Larry recommended. They are very similar to the OEM, just a tad larger in diameter and a little longer. To allow for the length you need to cut down a slip joint pipe by a couple of inches. Once that's done, all the original piping lines right up. I used a couple of Sharkbite 1/4 turn ball valves for the hot and cold to the faucet. Just cut the pex and push on those wonderful Sharkbites!One word of warning. Those LD guys certainly have their own methods. They used an adhesive or caulk or something on that slip joint. Tough to get out. Of course, after wrestling the glued down air conditioner, I wasn't really surprised! I noticed that the hose coming from the water tank had too tight a bend which reduced its diameter so I replaced that hose. Also tacked the filter up high and out of the way. Good to go!jor 4 Likes
Re: Kitchen Faucet and Drains Reply #1 – May 13, 2023, 08:33:07 pm Nice work! On the water lines, my 2016 MB has the water tank feed line to the pump run horizontally to the filter screen and then straight into the pump. Real surprised to see yours go straight up to the filter near the sink bottom and then back down to the pump. Wonder why they redid the plumbing routing? 1 Likes

They used some of that cheesy hanger strap and zip tie. I changed the length of the water hose and put it up out of the way. Easier access in there now.jor
