The original C26 galley sink hand pump

Post by Gary w/C26 & LS13 »

Can anyone suggest a replacement hand pump model that will cover the three screw holes in the countertop yet fit in the confined space?

Gary ,
I don’t have an original hand pump but if you find one I would like the information as well.

I took the faucet apart and inspected the rubber flapper. Surprisingly it still was in good shape. I put everything back together. Moderate hand pumping still produced no water flow. So out of frustration I increased the rate of pumping and shortened the strokes. Lo and behold! The faucet primed itself and now it’s working adequately. I’m going to try adding a check valve just below the faucet supply tube connection and see if that decreases the effort required to reprime each time.
