I am getting lot's of airation out of the my galley sink faucet. I think someone has taken the strainer/screen thing apart on the faucet spigot and it wasn't put back together right. I unscrew it and the water is fine, but put back on and a glass of water has all kinds of air in it. Any thoughts or diagrams where I can get the parts assembled in the right order?? Thanks
 
I just replaced my strainer a few days ago. Lowes or Home Depot should have what you need. Bring the old one so you can match it. There are a few different thread types so be sure to get the right one. You can also just buy the plastic cartridge, if the chrome part is still good.
 
Actually,that is what the device is there for,airate the stream of water to miniumize splashing. It's even called an airator.
 
Something to look at if you're getting low pressure out of the galley faucet but not the others--there's a strainer on the intake side of the faucet below the counter top where the flex lines connect to the steel inlet tubes on the faucet. When I pulled mine apart it was full of crud....oily greasy looking crud.
