Spray Wands & Wand Kits

About Replacement Spray Wands

These are specifically replacement kits and spray wands for pull-down and pull-out kitchen faucets. If you are looking for side spray replacements, that's a different category.

The spray wand on your kitchen faucet is susceptible to wear and tear, so a replacement is far cheaper than installing a whole new fixture. If you are looking for a Moen, Delta, or Brizo replacement (and more), you've come to the right place. We have so many discount faucet parts to choose from, you will be sure to find the best product.

What Is a Spray Wand?

Your kitchen spray wand, also known as a pull-out sprayer, is similar to a kitchen side sprayer. While similar in function and used for tasks such as filling pots, rinsing fruits and vegetables, and cleaning your sink, a spray wand is larger and offers a much more comfortable grip than a side sprayer. This difference makes spray wands ideal for those with degenerative motor control and limited range of motion, such as those with arthritis.

Additionally, spray wands offer many features not found in a typical kitchen side sprayer. These features include cool-touch technology that keeps the body of your wand cool, even when using hot water. Spray wands also come with different water spray functions, including an aerated stream, a spray mode, and a pause stream mode. Combined, these features allow spray wands to be used for more extended periods and to perform faster and more efficiently than a side sprayer.

Types of Kitchen Sprays

There are a variety of spray heads for your kitchen, depending on the type of sink or kitchen faucet you have. These spray heads can be categorized into 3 different groups: Side Sprayers, Pull-Downs, and Pull-Out Wands.

1. Spray Wands for Pull-Down Kitchen Faucets

Pull-down sprayers are becoming increasingly popular with modern kitchen faucets. Many kitchen faucets are now coming with an integrated or pull-down sprayer that sits in place of the faucet. The nice thing about owning a pull-down sprayer is that it can function as a faucet or spray head with the push of a button. Many pull-down sprayers offer the user an arsenal of features, including a magnetic dock, 3 3-function spray head, and a no-kink hose.

A magnetic dock allows the spray head to magnetically latch back in place when you’re finished, meaning no more sagging or limp pull-down spray heads. The 3-function spray head means you can choose between spray, aerated stream, or pause stream for the perfect amount and pressure of water for whatever application you need. Finally, most pull-down faucets include a no-kink hose that lets you pull down the spray head and tilt, pivot, angle, and swoop it around without fear of the hose tangling. If you’re looking for a modern, beautiful kitchen spray head with more features than a side sprayer, a pull-down sprayer might be the perfect choice.

2. Spray Wands for Pull-Out Kitchen Faucets

Pull-out wands are similar to side sprayers, but much larger and designed like a shower wand. Pull-out wands are best used for cleaning veggies, filling pots, rinsing off dirty dishes, and cleaning your sink, all of which can be done faster, more efficiently, and more comfortably than with a side sprayer. Pull-out wands feature a cool-touch feature that keeps them cool even at high water temperatures. Additionally, like many pull-down sprayers, pull-out wands offer various water settings, including aerated streams and spray modes. Pull-out wands aren’t as common in homes today, but are great solutions for those with a limited range of motion and motor-control skills, such as those with arthritis.

3. Side Spray

Side sprays are the typical spray gun that sits in its own hole on your kitchen sink next to your faucet. While common, that doesn't mean they aren’t beautiful. Many side sprayers now come bundled with your kitchen faucet, providing the ultimate kitchen water experience. Gone are the days of rinky-dink, cheap metal or plastic side spray heads—today’s modern spray heads are sleek and beautiful with finishes and designs meant to evoke a contemporary or classical look in your kitchen.

If you’re looking to replace your old side sprayer with a newer, more modern one, you’ll find a vast selection of polished looks and sheer finishes here at PlumbersStock from brand names Brizo, Delta, and Moen, to name a few. Keep in mind that purchasing a side sprayer for the first time will require cutting a new hole of the specified size in your kitchen sink.

Common Problems for Kitchen Spray Wands

Spray wands are fantastic additions to any kitchen because they offer a flexible stream of water that can be angled and raised or lowered in any direction. Spray wands make tasks like washing dishes easier to accomplish without the hassle of having to pivot your kitchen faucet. Even so, spray wands have a few common problems that may require replacing parts, such as hoses. Below is a list of common troubleshooting problems and what you can do to fix them.

Hose won’t extend as far – Over time, you may notice your hose isn’t extending as far as it used to. Since your spray hose is flexible, make sure it isn’t caught on anything beneath the sink. If that’s not the case, inspect it and smooth out any tangles and kinks it may have.
Hose is Leaking Underneath Your Sink – If you notice mysterious puddles of water underneath your kitchen sink, your first thought could be it’s because of your water supply lines. However, your spray wand may be the culprit. In this scenario, if you suspect the spray wand is to blame, the best option is to replace the entire spray assembly (spray wand and hose).
Mixed Spray Patterns – If you’ve noticed that your spray wand mixes spray and stream water whenever you use it, it may be because the diverter is caught in between the two. A typical wand will use a side-to-side diverter to help you change spray patterns. If your diverter isn’t pushed to one or the other side, you’ll wind up with a mixed spray/stream.
Spitting Sprayer Spray Isn’t as Strong – If you notice your spray wand is spitting water angrily every time you try to use it, or if it seems the sprayer’s water pressure has dropped, it may be due to mineral debris buildup caught between the wand and hose. To clean out the debris, shut off the water supply to that area of the kitchen and unscrew the wand from the hose. Lightly tap the screen in the wand to remove any debris. If necessary, gently flush away tough debris. Screw the wand back onto the hose, then wipe its face to remove any caked-on residue.
