ABSTRACT:
A faucet repair system is provided for the removal of loose or broken faucet components, debris or other material which may be lodged in a faucet body or water feed line. A hollow coupling having threads identical to the bonnet or stem nut of the defective faucet includes a collar over which an outlet tube is connected. The bonnet or stem nut and stem are removed and the coupling is screwed into the faucet body. A bend in the tube directs water flow into a lavatory or sink basin when the water feed line shutoff valve is then opened. The water flow carries with it the loose material. A modified outlet tube includes a trap which retains the dislodged article and is suitable for elongate objects.
