Anyone know how to rethread the end of a faucet?

We've had good success using pipe/faucet thread tape in a roll. In fact we have some on one of our kitchen filter connections at present. Can pick it up at Home Depot or lots of places.

 

Ya, it wraps around and clings to what stripped thread there is, and lets you attach the other end. Not a pro fix, but it works pretty well with our filter. Of course, I can't guarantee it'll work with that lousy St. Louis water.

Good luck.

 

rethread with a die.

 

only problem is its not a standard thread, so you cant find a die for it...find somewhere you can buy a new spout is about the only option you got

this is coming from 10+ years of working in a small hardware store, trust me.

 

Well that sucks. You'd think some company would have made a die for it by now. I guess that means it's time to teflon tape that bitch up!

 

If your faucet is stripped it would be pretty tough to find a die that would allow you to rethread it!

if its your brita thats stripped, very little chance of dining a tap that allow you to rethread it

Easiest solution is to get a brita water jug ! or a water distiller, or a reverse osmosis unit they make great water

 

LOL its not a common thing, you could likely find one in a specialty tool shop after extensive searching. If you get the Teflon Tape to work, dont get to crazy tightening it up! Teflon tape is designed merely as a thread lubricant for pipes, it will fill minor gapsand imperfections, however, it was never meant to replace threads so easy does it

 

I had similar problems with the one I have......in the end, i had to go to the hardware store and buy a metal adaptor to replace the plastic adaptor that came with it. that seems to have done the trick

 

Use an oxy-acetylene welder to attach the filter to the faucet, the plastic melting is only a side-effect and should quit as soon as the welding is completed...I know it sounds paradoxical, but trust me it will work. No, but seriously, teflon tape, like previously mentioned, shouldn't really be used for this application. You'd be better off using duct tape, which is ridiculous to say the least, it sounds like you need a new faucet. Just get a cheapy, your landlord will never know the difference.

 

Duct tape - fixes everything - lots of it -
