Oh, and while I'm at it, last year I installed one of those GoWesty pneumatic squeeze-ball foot-operated faucet on-off switches. It's handy to have both hands free while the water's on, but there are times when the foot switch is awkward, so set up the new faucet so that either switch can turn it on. And add a "kill" switch because if the foot bulb is mashed down too firmly, the contained air blows out of the hose at the pressure switch end up in the undersink cabinet and the switch will jam on in the "on" position, necessitating a scramble under the sink to unplug the end of the hose from the switch so the foot bulb can repressurize and pressed again to turn off the water. -- Jack "Rocket j Squirrel" Elliott Bend, Ore. 1984 Westfalia.
