My kitchen sink has three pieces, the spout, the handle and a sprayer. The spout part is very loose and when I turn it the sprayer part also moves. There is only a small ring at the bottom of the spout. How can I tightened the spout? I looked underneath and there doesn't seem to be anything there to tighten.
Thanks:)

We'll probably need the manufacturer to look it up somewhere and try to coach you on this one. Do you know the make and model?

There should be a small threaded pipe (3/8 inch or so) that the hose from the faucet handle assembly connects to, at the very top of the pipe, against the sink, there should be a brass nut. This nut needs to be tightened while some one is holding the spout and the ring around it so that it will remain covering the hole in the sink. Most faucets of this style come with a socket wrench that fits the nut but if you use that you will have to take the hose loose from the pipe. Good luck.
