I have a Price Pfister kitchen faucet that was installed a few months ago it is a single lever. The faucet is loose, but get even more loose when the hot water is running. Is there some adjustment or something I can do to tighten it?

Janied... are you telling us the faucet HANDLE is loose?
If so there is proabaly a little plastic insert that is removed by taking a fingernail and simply popping it forward to remove it and then you should find an ALLEN SCREW under that.
This allen screw sounds like it needs to be loosened, faucet handle needs to be seated properly and then the allen screw can be tightened correctly.
Confirm the allen screw is present and then you need to purchase a combo. allen wrench set... includes metric and standard sizes.
If I misunderstood the question please let me know more details!!
Thanks...

It's not the handle that is loose, it is the faucet spout. It's tight on the granite but it's loose on the faucet spout (where the water comes out)

I suspect that you may need to remove the handle and see if there is a nut that has loosened under the handle..?
If that is not it then please post a pic. Or get us a model number of the faucet... see what we can do from there... OK?

If it is not the handle like Mark suggested, then it can be the crtridge, please contact Price Pfister at 1-800-732-8238 they will tell you what is wrong with your faucet and they will send you the parts for free, good luck.

Hi all...
Janied... did you mean you have a PP Model #T34-4TSS?? If so then this is the marielle series faucet and I have a link with an exploded parts view that should help here some.

I would suggest you take the handle off as indicated at the spec. sheet and work your way down from there. You should only need a screwdriver to do this.
FIRST, shut off the water from under the sink and then take each part apart...
Could be as simple as a loose screw under handle (not a nut, but a screw here) or could be more involved. Let us know what you think...

The faucet I have is a corrego kitchen faucet. It has 3 pieces, the faucet, hanlde and sprayer. The faucet part is loose. I don't see any way to tighten it. The only part that comes off is the one that is on the very top of the faucet where an ornamental piece is. I removed it but the piece inside doesn't appear to come out.

Sorry, but according to the price pfister website www.pricepfister.com (http://www.pricepfister.com).. both the T34-47SS and the corrego faucet line do not exist!
I can't even begin to guess your setup without more info. Here.

I have finally found the brand of the faucet I have, it's a Corrego kitchen faucet. It consists of 3 pieces, the faucet, handle and sprayer. The faucet is tight on the sink but from that point up it's loose. It gets even looser when you turn the hot water on. I don't see any way to tighten it. Help!
