I have a Moen bathroom faucet and at the end of the faucet there is a metal band or ring that screws on to the end of the spout that holds the screen- filter for the water coming out. What is this metal ring that screws on to the spout called? I guess if I don't have the name I can describe it like this but I prefer the name if any. I'll check the Moen web site later today to see if that helps. Thanks.
what is this called

Hehe-- That was a total FAIL here. I showed it a hot tub jet and it gave me pictures of dogs, people, cats-- So I showed it my pug nuzzling a baby robin. No dogs no birds. . . more people, some cats, goats and a sniper rifle in a foxhole.
Interesting idea-- but I wish google would try to fix the stuff they already broke instead of coming up with new stuff that doesn't work.

Right. Actually they send me the part for free (lifetime warrantee).

Sure if you want to spend time or money every year cleaning or replacing it.
Plumbing part!
"I need one-a these."
I've only ordered one part and called it in and gal was able to identify it and take order. I had to pay for it, maybe $10. If I had looked around I could have got for $2 elsewhere. It was a lever with a ball on it that raises and lowers the sink drain plug. Not until later did I find part diagrams, e.g.:

It pays to deliberately stroll around your local hardware stores and borgs aisle by aisle when you are not needing anything and see what they have so that when you do need something you at least have a rough idea of what is available and maybe save some $$$,
