I need help identifying what type of faucet I need or if there's a simple fix. I own a mobile home built in 1997. I noticed today that the cold water will not turn off. I have no idea how to fix it. Is there an easy fix? If I need a new faucet system, I don't know what to look for. It has two handles attached on a chrome wall mount with the chrome spout in the middle. The mount itself measures 10 inches long. Is that what I look for or do I measure something else?

I typed it in and absolutely nothing comes up..? What does gaswaterheater caravan have to do with a faucet, Jazzas? Is it a supplier of mobile home supplies in the USA?

Hi Kara, you may do well to take a picture of the faucet on your smart phone (if you have one) and take the picture over to a local plumbing supply store and see if they can help with the issue. If not, they can recommend a mobile home supply store that should be able to help, OK?

Good luck!

Jazzas said, "every99% tap (faucet) has a rubber washer that wears away"...

Sorry again, Jazzas, but that simply isn't correct anymore! For years now, most faucets come with cartridges, vacuum breakers, cup washer and springs and all kinds of orings and the such. To find a faucet with a plain old-fashioned washer nowadays rarely, if ever happens!

Have a good day!
