Founding Texas-West Chapter Leaders-Retired
Hey all,
I've seen some great mods recently of folks replacing their faucets in their coaches with residential models, and I was thinking of doing the same. Especially since our sinks in our ElkRidge are not very deep, a taller faucet sure would make it easier to do dishes.
I took measurements and pics of our current faucet and hit the big box stores. Then, I went home and looked more carefully... We have an issue, Our faucet is a "two hole" that looks like a "three hole", two handle model. I found ONE possible replacement, which was the wrong finish and wasn't any better than what we already have. I know this, because looking up under the sink, there is a piece of wood (I assume attached to the countertop) directly between the two faucet handle connections. ARGH! How frustrating. I don't really want to drill through the countertop/wood.

Well, just now, I looked up the manufacturer, Dura Faucets. Looks like they have some replacements that will work, including one that looks like ours, but with a taller "neck".
Just wanted to make others aware of this before you go buy a new "residential" faucet... Check yer holes!
