Kitchen Sink Spray Hose Replacement

Replacing a kitchen sink spray hose is a relatively simple plumbing repair that can be completed in about an hour. Here are the steps involved:

Step 1: Gather your tools and materials

You will need the following tools and materials:

New kitchen sink spray hose
Adjustable wrench
Pliers
Bucket or bowl
Teflon tape

Step 2: Turn off the water supply

Locate the water supply valves under the sink and turn them off. Open the faucet to release any remaining water pressure in the line.

Step 3: Disconnect the old spray hose

Use the adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts that connect the spray hose to the faucet and the water supply line. Once the nuts are loose, pull the spray hose free.

Step 4: Wrap the new spray hose with Teflon tape

Wrap the threads of the new spray hose with Teflon tape clockwise. This will help to create a watertight seal when the hose is connected.

Step 5: Connect the new spray hose

Connect the new spray hose to the faucet and the water supply line. Tighten the nuts using the adjustable wrench.

Step 6: Turn on the water supply

Turn on the water supply valves under the sink. Check for leaks at all of the connections. If you find any leaks, tighten the nuts further.

Step 7: Test the spray hose

Turn on the faucet and test the spray hose. Make sure that the water flows smoothly and that the spray pattern is even.

Additional tips

If you are having difficulty removing the old spray hose, you can use a pair of pliers to grip the hose and turn it.
Be careful not to overtighten the nuts when connecting the new spray hose. This can damage the hose or the faucet.
If you are not comfortable performing this repair yourself, you can call a plumber for assistance.
