Have experienced a what I think is rare occurrence. Here goes. The other day I came home after work. Anyway, I was standing in a pool of water in front of my sink. I discovered that my Moen tap with pull out sprayer (all in one unit) had sprung a leak just above the joint where the braided line was connected to the cold side.

I replaced the entire thing as I could not trust it any longer. This was after I tried to tighten the joint with negative results as water was dripping constantly just above the joint (the 5/16" line)

For your information. Has anyone else out there had a similar problem with this unit... just curious. Thank you

When you replaced the 3/8ths inch braided hose did you Teflon Tape the threads? Regards, Tom
