Hi all,
The flexible metal jacket on the head faucet has separated from the base of the faucet and slid down the hose a little. Does anyone know how to re-attach it to the base? I've tried screwing it in and pushing it in, but that doesn't seem to work. Thanks

Mike : Shoot some silicone caulk into the bottom of the fixture and then screw in the metal jacket. Once the caulk dries it should stay put!!

Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did.

Mike : You should pour some alcohol in there to make sure the inside walls are clean so your caulk/epoxy will adhere.  You might even consider 3M5200.
