    I've noticed some of the newer sprayers are designed so that little O-ring that contacts the side of the sprayer body is supposed to do the job of the fat washer (cheaper to build with an O-ring than a fat washer I bet). Could be replacing the O-ring or adding some silicone grease to it would give you similar results. Or like you said somebody might have tinkered with it and left the fat washer out -- either during a repair or in the design process! Either way the fat washer is a better design and an upgrade to the washer strategy. Thanks so much for the video!

    I've installed over a hundred (100+) Moen Caldwell faucets w/sprayers ($69 Lowe's) in rent houses in the last 3 years. Not a single one of these Moen faucets or sprayers has subsequently leaked to date. Service life, failures, and leaks, depend on the quality you start with. My Property Mgmt clients are believers now. They used to want me to put in cheap faucets w/sprayers. No more.

    Mines been leaking out of the handle, also when I run the hot/cold water there is this jumping like there's some sort of air in the lines. Low and behold I watched this video and unscrewed my handle...no washer😝.
    I ran the cold and hot water with sprayer handle off and there was no jumping/air pressure sounds at all!! This definitely has to be the problem...
    I just called home depot faucet department to ask if they sold the washers seperate, and he said "Man Ive been doing this for years and never heard of this in my entire life"!!.
    Hahahahahahahhah!!!!
    Thanks RUclips, and the creator of this video. Because if not for this, I wouldve felt like the bozo who doesnt know any better! Instead the guy on the phone was the bozo. And I KNOW what's wrong with my sprayer!!! 🤘

    I had to replace the diverter valve on a single handle control Moen kitchen sink faucet bought from Lowe's. It had some years on it but not ancient old. Try finding parts like that for Moen in the big box and/or plumbing supply house..even they didn't have an exact replacement..not made any more. THAT was a chicken tooth! 🙄 Finally had to have Moen track one down from their factory old stock and send it or else that would have been another (brand not Moen) new expensive kitchen faucet. To Moens credit they sent it for free and i fixed the issue.

    We use the cheapest crap imaginable from Adler. But I don't ever recall a sprayer hose leak. The hot and cold handle will leak before the hose will. It's a different style though. The spout is low profile and only uses a single handle for the hot and cold. I think it's like $60 dollars.

This new one comes with thin flat RUBBER washer and a thicker rubber washer which is flat on one side not on the other. By watching videos those that had that funny washer out it into the top of the sprayer non flat side first. Actually same way it was in my last sprayer.
    Now my OLD one came with a thin plastic washer. I have tried every combination of the washer and combined with both sprayer heads. I even tried all 3 washers. Thick rubber, thin rubber and thin plastic. I even tried teflon tape on threads. BUT STILL I have water dripping out under that first blk plastic collar part of sprayer you put on. What next.

    Just checked my leaky handle... which has gotten so bad... that I've almost lost all water pressure. As soon as I turn on the water....the majority of the water pressure is being forced out of the hose handle. So I watched your video here, I unscrewed the handle and found that the washer is also completely missing!?
    How the hell does it just disappear? Is it something that breaks down over time or is it more likely that someone removed it? It's only my fiance and I here and she is not handy, nor would she mess with something like that. And I know for a fact that I didn't remove it. Weird!
