Connect Stout / nitro faucet to Stout faucet restrictor disc
How to join 7/8"-14 shank mount, restrictor plate and 5-hole restrictor plate, and what stops it leaking.
These connect directly. Stout / nitro faucet mates with Stout faucet restrictor disc without an adapter.
The two ends
- End A
- Stout / nitro faucet (7/8"-14 shank mount, restrictor plate)
- End B
- Stout faucet restrictor disc (5-hole restrictor plate)
- A seals on
- coupling nut draws the faucet body onto the shank nose; the restrictor plate is internal
- B seals on
- sits captive inside the stout faucet, not a threaded joint
- Part needed
- none, direct fit
A stout faucet carries its restrictor disc internally, so the plate drops into the faucet body rather than threading on. Aftermarket creamer kits offer discs with different hole patterns to tune the head.
The restrictor is captive, not a threaded joint, so it only fits a faucet built to take one. A standard faucet has nowhere for the disc to sit, which is why you buy the stout faucet, then choose the disc, not the other way round.
