Kitchen Faucet

The kitchen faucet handle on our 2014 Elite is leaking sometimes badly at times.

Does anyone know the brand name and model no.?

Had same issue with the same faucet on our 2014 MS. You can take the handle off and gain access to the cartridge. I was able to tighten the cartridge and the leaking stopped.

I tried to take the handle off.

Removed the setscrew and all it did was allow the handle to rotate around the cartridge. Tried lifting it off and no go.

How did you get it off?

Mine came off once the set screw was loosened. Can't offer you much more.

Kinda amazes me that they don't put in a name brand--Delta/Moen/etc--and save the owners having to do it themselves later. I have Moen in the kitchen and lav.
But mine aren't as fancy as your model.

Nothing fancy about the fixtures in these things except the price. I'll be installing Moen or Delta once these give up the ghost.

I guess we must be blessed. Other than the color, that looks exactly like the one in our 2010 MS, and we've not had any problems with either the kitchen or bathroom sink faucets. We did have to replace the faucet in the shower, though. So, sorry, but I can't help with how to remove the handle or with what a brand name is.

Wife is getting somewhat testy because she would like to replace the one in the bathroom, but she hates spending the money for one when the original is still working just fine.

We have the same faucets, and will replace, with residential name brand. From the branding on the shower faucet I think they are alibaba.com Chinese very cheap.
If you find a replacement for a two hole faucet let me know. It's a matter of time before they break down. The finish is coming off.
I've asked the factory for replacement but no answer, it's only been a few days. Good taps are expensive.

Sounds like you could surprise her with a new bathroom faucet for Christmas!

Ah, gee--that sounds more like a 50th ann present....
