Update on Eyewash Water Chattering Problem

05/19/2010 7:03 AM

Thank you to those whom offered help with my problem. The problem was the regulating orfice in the spray head. It was a plastic washer with a hole to limit the flow, on the under side of it was a cone shaped rubber seal that kept collapsing. Go figure. Thanks again.

Hopefully, this was discovered before you chopped a hole in the wall .

Yes, yes it was. The only problem was finding a replacement part. Had to buy a new unit!

You are welcome, I am the Guest that suggested the "washer in faucet" in your initial post.

This washer is not the volume regulating valve, it is in the diverter.

Thanks for the suggestion. What thru me off was a threaded washer with 4 holes in it, and below that was the culprit washer with the rubber seal. Thanks again.
