Grohe 01224000 Spring O-Ring

Yes, it's over-priced. Yes, it's only an O-ring. But it works!

I thought it was crazy that this was not included with the Grohe replacement sink spay head directly from Grohe. They even mention it and include a link to buy the o-ring on Amazon ...... as they don't sell it. Thank you Amazon and what the hell are you thinking Grohe.

This o-ring comes in handy if the original happens to be worn, or if you have an older Ladylux faucet and find that a newer replacement spray head doesn't precisely mate when you screw it onto the hose. In either case this new o-ring can prevent leaks that would otherwise drip down the neck and into your cabinet. Hidden leaks are no fun! This item is a Grohe factory original, Made in Germany. By the way, the seller build.com shipped this incredibly fast -- it arrived before a Prime order made at the same time.

bought but did not need. The price is high. $7 for an o-ring.keeping it just in case.

I needed this for the replacement of this part because it leaked when I tried to install it:GROHE 46173SD0 Accessories Kitchen-Sink-Faucet-Replacement-Parts, Stainless SteelI heard that the O-ring should be included with the sprayer, so I contacted Grohe support. They responded really quickly, but said the O-ring is no longer a separate part. So, they sent me the whole hose. I didn't think I could pry the O-ring out of the groove without damaging it, so I ordered the O-ring through Amazon. I figured if it didn't work, then I'd get a plumber to install the hose Grohe sent me.It's expensive, to be sure. But it's a legitimate Grohe part. If you go to the Grohe site, they actually offer a link to this Amazon product. When I received the product, it came in an official Grohe package. BTW, the Grohe Q&A for the part includes the question of the ID and OD measurements.Pried out the old O-ring (and chewed it up a little), pushed the replacement O-ring into the groove. Leak fixed.

Don't make the mistake of replacing your faucet head without this O ring. The old one is flat and dried out and you need to replace it. I don't understand why they don't include this with the faucet head. It's cheap and necessary. They always include a new O ring with oil filters for the same reason.

The O rings by Grohe are expansive and an odd size not readily available at local hardware store. When they arrived, they both were split and useless. I found an old O ring that was a bit fatter and was able to force it in place. Fortunately it works and no leaks. What a waste ordering the Grohe O rings.

Solved the leak from the old original.Lesson: replace the o-ring when changing the spray head even though the o-ring is on the hose.
