How to access the galley faucet on a MS390?

[SloopG]

Hi

Have a 2002 MS390 and need to access the galley faucet to tighten it so it doesn't move. Cannot see any access points to get under the counter. Any suggestions appreciated.

This is what you will encounter once nut releases from holding plate whole unit comes above counter for water connections. access was through left hand drawer and drop down under sing. Fittings are 15mm seatech and just push and release and push and Hold.

We replaced our MS390 kitchen faucet with a Moen "Alder" model 87233. I found it to be reasonably accessible after removing the drawers etc. See installation notes on our blog:

Note other nice galley improvements chronicled in the weeks before and after that post.

Happy wife. Happy Life.

Look in advance to see if you need a faucet wrench… I didn’t and it cost me another trip that day. Every extra trip cuts into beer drinking time!
