I recently had a new kitchen faucet installed. It is a pullout model made by Kohler. I unscrewed the spray spout from the hose and turned on the water. The flow was great and full force, so I know the restricter is in the spray spout, but I didn't see anything in the handle that I could remove or adjust. Any suggestions? Can I get a new spray spout?

Hello Samantha4444,

There is flow restrictor and back flow preventer built into the handle. You have 50/50 chance you will succeed removing them. With some models it is easy, with some models it is deep in and you won't be able to reach it with regular tools. Back flow preventer is usually at the base of the handle while the flow restrictor is at the discharge end. Give it a try. Let us know how it went. Back to you. Milo

I can remove the back flow preventer. Will that increase flow? Will it damage the unit over time if I remove it? Thanks for the information!

Yes it will increase the volume and no it won't damage the faucet. Good luck. Tom
