This faucet has been in use for over 10 years, and I think it is a JADO, but no idea or the model or part number. I tried to do a search and realized American Standard has acquired JADO and have discontinued it in the US.



The sink cabinet has a puddle of water, and after removing everything and examining the connections, I believe it is the actual hose that is leaking.

I checked the hot and cold valves and connections - DRY.

It is a pull out faucet with a hose below, and the bottom of the hose is dripping water.





The hose forms a loop, the left side goes up to the actual faucet, that side seems dry. The right side goes up to connect to a copper tubing to receive the mixed water. That looks like a 3/8" connection, but feeling it that connection is dry too while water is running above and dripping below.





So the only conclusion is the actual hose is leaking, right? The leak is very slow, one drop every 2-3 seconds. I was staring at the hose with a flash light for like a minute and I *THINK* I see water spiraling down the "channels" of that hose, I can't pin point where exactly however.

Given that, I guess I need to replace the hose. Disconnect the hose from base of faucet to where it connects to that 3/8" (I think) below. Apparently I can't get a new hose from the manufacturer, so question is - is this hose a proprietary item or is this somewhat generic like a shower hose? Or should I just get a new kitchen faucet?

While I have the sink cabinet cleaned out I am also going to change the hot and cold valves while I am at it. The original faucet has a 1/2" MIP connection. Last guy used a 3/8"X1/2" vinyl connector, there has to be a cleaner way to do this?

Most home improvement stores sell a replacement hose in kit form that includes various adapters to connect to the faucet . Some are quick connect, push to connect, snap lock, threaded, etc.

Dollars to donuts sum that the problem is the hand held sprayer, not the hose. The spray heads on many pullout faucets are generic and made by the same manufacturer (not the faucet manufacturer). Often, the sprayer cracks at the base of the plastic threads. Other times, it is the gasket connection itself that needs a new gasket.

The hose is probably split inside the metal sheath. If it still leaks underneath when you have the spout in the sink THAT is the problem. A "generic/fitsall" hose will work, but I prefee to use one with the proper connections on the end to avoid using multiple connections any one of which could start leaking. The faucet design and hose connection look like Pfister. Depending on where it is broken, I have taken them apart and repaired tehm.

I have the whole faucet removed and now redoing the valves. I will take it apart later for an autopsy. May be if it can be repaired I will use it at a rental. I will be using a new faucet.

You've got my support, bud. I would have voted for a new one. Not only did the old one leak, it was UGLY. Carry on!
