I had a leak in my price pfister (unsure of model number - likely older unit) ceramic cold faucet - found a new valve at home depot and replaced. However, another leak where the cold faucet connects to the spout - can't find the hose in Lowe's or home depot, will next try some major plumbing supply houses.

I am not certain what type of connection's are involved, seems like a standard 3/8 od compression fitting to the spout but the other side seems like a 1/8" male pipe thread to the cold water faucet - however it has an o-ring that mates to an apparent o-ring groove on the faucet.

Anyone seen these before and can tell me for certain what type of connection this is, and where to get a short hose?

Hi Martin...

Most likely the plumbing supply house will not have this flexible connector, but it is certainly worth a shot as you never do know, huh?

Your best bet will be to contact price pfister directly and e-mail the photos you posted above (if needed)... they should be able to send you out the correct hoses quite quickly (may even be under warranty):

Let me know how you make out, OK?

Fast answer, thanks Mark. Good idea to send info to price pfister and ask them, I'll give it a try. Steve

Hi Mark,

Well, looked around a few places in San Diego county. Go the part number for the Price Pfister hose from a local plumbing parts house. Called Price Pfister and they said they no longer make the hose, but they would provide me an entire new sink! Had to send them a photo of the sink (no longer have receipt or owners manual) to show proof of ownership. Hope they come through on the new sink and that it matches the second sink in the bathroom this is going in. Parts obsolesence and I figure it would cost too much to try to get proper connectors and have a custom hose made.

Cheers, Steve

Sorry, new to the forum and not sure how to edit a posted answer. Of course Price Pfister will only be providing me a faucet/spout set vice an entire sink. Just wanted to clarify.
