Faucet

I need to change the handles on my lavatory faucets. I cannot find any manufacturer information on the faucet.
Does anyone know who the source/manufacturer was for the CC lavatory faucets.
Thanks in advance.

I tried 2 or 3 years ago because ours as probably you feel too are just so darned hard to turn off with wet hands. I don't remember which company I contacted but sent a picture to a fellow who responded to my asking if it was from their faucet fixture company, and it was not. We bought two Grohe bath lav faucets at Costco but haven't installed them yet. We think they'll work.

So if anybody knows how to get to the screws to tighten a handle it would be greatly appreciated. I have a loose handle and can't figure out how to tighten. thanks

Ron,

They look like Price Phister knobs but so many knock-offs from the orient are on the market it's hard to say. Grohe faucets are an excellent replacement and are considered one of the best in the industry.

Buddy, The top of the on/off control knob, just above the brass ring, just screws off. once removed, you will see a fillips head screw that you can easily tighten.

Buddy,

Handles are usually mounted through a cap that pops off the top or a small set (allen head) screw accessible under the handle.

RJ Others have told you the brand and how to tighten the handles, before you replace them find their manual on the net. The o-rings take a set from use, ours are 13 years old they turn like new. Every spring I take them apart and lube the o-rings and all the internal parts with real silicone grease ( at Lowe's Home depot ). Need to do this because of Arthritis.

Changed out my entire faucet set and lavy sink. New sink fit right in the same hole as the old one. It was really one of the more simpler jobs I have undertaken. Those old handles are terrible.

I use the "Plumber's Silicone Grease" Part # GR2V, made by Solder Seal under their Gunk label. It is sold in a handy 0.5 oz. flip top container. Works from -40- 400 degrees. It is almost inert so it works great for a variety of applications and materials. www.gunk.com.
