Faucet Replacement - Tab 320 2021

elbolillo

The faucet that came in our Tab 320 2021 was different than what was shown in the brochure and after a number of trips this summer we decided it left a lot to be desired and we changed it out. This is a huge upgrade in our opinion that makes the sink and faucet so much more usable. This is the replacement faucet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092YSBW7X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Install was a breeze and now the faucet swivels, has a pull-out sprayer, and both a spray and aerated stream function. This should be standard equipment on the Tab.

@elbolillo Looks really good, no interference issues with the blind or screen?

Yes...look great!  Did you have to make any modifications to the hole through the counter?

REALLY like the concept of a pull out spray nozzle and the swivel. Great find @elbolillo

No modifications were required. Took out the old faucet and replaced with the new one in about 15 min. Easy peasy. Much better faucet!!!

No issues at all with clearance.

Is the hose long enough to pass through the window?

Yes it should be long enough to go through the window. Although I have the weight that goes on the hose set so that it only pulls out about 10”.

Here are a couple more photos.

Well, if you can slide the weight back maybe it can double as an outdoor shower!

Any hints on unscrewing and removing the old faucet?

you need a special faucet wrench.

We installed the same faucet but did not use the weight. Haven’t had a problem pushing the hose back in. I did use it for doing dishes in a collapsible tub out on the tongue box. The button for stopping flow is spring loaded. If you’re not holding it in the water continues to flow. Have to figure a way to stop the flow and free up hands without reaching in the window.

How did you connect those brass connectors to the original Tab blue and red connections?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Pretty easy. Thanks for posting.
