Grohe 01224000 Spring O-Ring

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

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.

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.

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 Steel I 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.

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.

The oring fit perfectly, no leaks. All questions and concerns were answered and handeled quickly. I would from this seller again and I recommend this product from this seller, as the wrong o ring will leak and is impossible to find in a store.

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.

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.
