Disclaimer: Our kitchen is older than I'd care to admit...


Our side sprayer basically just limps out a spray. What I don't understand is this: If I remove the sprayer head and just have the water streaming from the hose, it comes out as a well-pressurized jet. When I add the sprayer head back without any gaskets, it predictably leaks and has a weak spray when triggered. If I then add one or more gaskets, it stops the leak but still doesn't restore the pressure. The gaskets should have nothing to do with the water pressure because they're not blocking the water stream at all - they go around the hose.

So the problem must be in the sprayer head, right? But we have two sprayer heads and they're both exhibiting the same behavior. I added a picture of the setup below.


Anyone can help or have suggestions?

Usually, when you turn the top knob, it pops the locking mechanism out of the garage door track. Has been fine, suddenly isn’t. Knob turns and not engaging anything inside. Thanks!

Hoping someone can help me with this. A leg of my couch fell off. It screw in and it appears like the metal thing it screw into is gone. No die how it happened but it might have gone missing during our last move.

  • What is that thing called?

  • Where can I buy one?

  • Can I use wood glue to replace it?

Thanks in advance

Community Guidelines

What we do

We strive above all to be a sub that provides a community service, and as such we hold ourselves to certain standards. Keep the comments on-topic, you can make jokes, it's fine, just don't go off the rails. Do not market anything here without asking the mods first (spoiler, we're gonna say no), don't be posting links to Amazon.com with affiliate codes in them either. Don't post about things you've already solved or made, /r/DIY is a better place for that.

Passing good fixes forward

Further to this goal of providing a service; If someone's comment provides you with a working solution to your issue (or if you just plain figure it out for yourself) post a comment singling out what the solution ultimately was and please flair your post as Fixed. Hopefully this will let future readers learn from our collective successes.


Posting for Maximum Effect

When you make your submission, post a detailed description of your issue and the friendly users here will do their best to sort you out.

do your best to include:

  • A detailed description of the problem.

  • Detailed photos are often a plus. This can mean, for example, close up photos of a part as well as photos from farther back, and/or different angles, which give significant context.

  • If there is a part number or a model number on something you suspect or know to be at issue definitely include that.

  • A description of the event(s) or circumstances that lead up to or were present at the time the issue arose.


Safety

There are things that are too dangerous for us to handle here. This can include certain electrical jobs, or natural gas plumbing jobs for example. Rule of thumb, if there's any reasonable chance you could get hurt or killed if something went awry you'll probably be directed to find yourself an expert.


Basic Decorum

Don't engage in racism, sexism, creeedism, homophobia, transphobia, or general assholery. The banhammer is swift and unforgiving.


Last but not least. The Prime Directive

Above all else: Be Excellent to Each Other
