I bought this and the threads on my faucet are really high... the metal adapters are not LONG enough to reach... any solutions?

It does not have to go all the way to the top of the threads. To prevent leaking around the thread go to your hardware store and buy a roll of plumber's tape. It only costs around a buck. Put the plumber's tape on the thread in the same direction that the filter will screw on and be sure to put it all the way to the end the of the threads, on the bottom. Then screw on the filter.

Other than getting a different faucet, just don't know. Hope you have better luck with it than I did. Went to a PUR and like it a lot better.

Perhaps if you contact Brita, they would know the solution. They must have run into this problem before.

Depending on how flush your aerorater is. If it is very flush or level, then the thread will probably be too short to directly attach it to your faucet. Please try your local hardware store and ask them if they have an adapter that might help you to attach it to your faucet. I have the same type of faucet and decided to place the filter in our laundry room. It is close to the kitchen and I don't have to look at the filter unless I want to use it.

Haven't installed faucet as yet. Sorry I don't have an answer for you at this time. Sue

Mine came with a couple of different adapters.. I can't say for sure which, if any, of them would accommodate your faucet. I will say that you can get any size adapter you may need from any big box hardware store for very little cost (prob under a dollar). I love mine. Good construction, works great.

you probably need an adaptor which you can easily find in the neighborhoor hardware stores. I bought this but never used it because I did not like the quality and finish. did not go well with my tub faucet which is stainless steel.

I had the same issue. I had to go to Home Depot, and purchase 2 separate half inch fittings and two additional supply lines in order to be able to reach my valves. I brought the supply lines from the faucet to the Home Depot in order to ensure that I picked up the correct fittings.

I don't think that this will work without the threads. I had a threaded faucet.

I ended up choosing a different faucet. Sorry. I dont have any information on the subject. Good luck.

That kind of faucet has an "air gap" in it. This faucet does not have that feature. Look for one in this search, they should have the three lines.

I had the same problem, and it's because that Houzer is meant for SS sinks. I have a cast iron sink and had the same problem, so I returned it.

If you have a standard faucet this adaptor should work. Almost all faucets are the same size.

2" will be tough. My faucet has a big "knob" (1 3/8")at the end that really helps this stay on, but my faucet neck is about 1 1/4. The hole in the adapter is only about 1.25" in dia and the rubber is pretty stiff. We have noticed that when you run real hot water through the sprayer, the rubber gets a lot softer. you might be able to do it if you put the adapter in real hot water before you put it on. We put a towel over the faucet to keep any water from squirting out and it works great

It has standard 15/16"-27 male thread. Standard aerators fit it, so a standard faucet to hose adapter should work just fine.

If it is falling off the connector, I cannot help, but if the connector is falling off the faucet, the threads in the faucet spout are probably worn with age and the only solution is to replace the spout or whole faucet. I have had no problems with the connection of the filter to the adapter.

i would recommend contacting the folks at https://www.oralbreeze.com. i bet they could advise you on wanting to adapt somesort of attachement. i do not know the size of the ada[ter but fits most standard faucetts. they provide rings and things to custom fit if needed.

Making sure you realize, I am NOT the seller of this item. But faucet add-ons are all similar. Un-screw the old piece. Should only be half inch to inch max in height. There will be threads on the inside of the faucet (where the water comes out). There will be threads on the outside of the attachment. Simply screw it in once the original faucet piece is off.

I am sorry, I do not have the answer. Our faucet has not had any problems. I would look at website of maker.
