Faucet Swivel?

[Hans627]

We have had our AS for over two years and ever since we've had it the kitchen faucet swivels (at the point of the arrow on the picture). It seems like it is loose but I'm not sure. Should it swivel or is it just loose? I've tried to get under the sink to see what's happening to no avail.

Thoughts? Thanks!

I certainly stand to be corrected, as we do not have this style faucet, but I don't think it should swivel and may just need tightening.


When you say you have not been able to get under the sink, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean.

I'm thinking perhaps you just don't have the right tool for the job and maybe
need a "Basin wrench."

Sorry if I am on the wrong track!

No I don't think it should move.

Use your phones camera and take a few pictures from under the sink so you can see whats up there and what tool you need to tighten it.

They are advertised for 360 degree swivel, so you got extra for free. I just put this in mine last week.

I took your advice and used my iPad to see what was happening behind the sink. And there was a nut that appeared to be loose. So I got a wrench up there (difficult to see but could feel where it fit the nut) and tightened it and it no longer moves. The wrench Wingeezer suggested would have worked well also. I'm happy! Thanks for all the suggestions. It's appreciated!

I should have checked this out sooner but I had bigger fish to fry! At least that's my story and I'm sticking with it!
