Anticipating a kitchen upgrade in the near future so with that in mind not wishing to invest in replacement faucet assemblies if that can be avoided.
Thanks.
I've replaced 'em -- no big deal. Peruse the shelves at your local hardware and you'll have a pretty good idea of your options (e.g. head alone, head and hose, etc.). If they're not standardized, I didn't notice.
Most are standard. How is it failing. No sense in replacing a good part. Often the diverter valve that is not in the spray head is the first thing to go.

Why dick around with parts. They whole thing isn't that expensive. Just get the hose and head complete and the job is done. Reduces the chance of another portion failing later. Just use the new one in the kitchen upgrade.
If you buy repair parts, you'll be throwing that $ away when you upgrade kitchen because you WILL (right) put an entire new one in that for sure.
Like Joeseph M. says it could be the little valve in the faucet failing that directs the water either to the sprayer or to the faucet.

Why dick around with the car, Al? Just buy a new one (every 3,000 miles or 4 months) when the oil needs changing.
$5 vs. $100? Hmmm, heavy decision. ;)

After reading your "$5 vs. $100?" I'm like wtf?!
Apparently "pull out hose mount sprayer" being referred to is the main faucett between the cold & hot handles and not the sprayer on the side. Assumed OP was talking about the side sprayer being a 40+ year old kitchen sink.
Correct. Side mounted sprayer.
Replace the whole thing, hose and all. They're cheap. It should fit 99% of faucets. Otherwise buy an adptor to match the faucet pipe threads.
I think you probably need a license to perform vetinary operations in your sink.

OK, $4.95-55 for a sprayer. (parts not available?)
