How to Hook a New Faucet Sprayer Hose in Your Kitchen Sink

Adding or replacing a faucet sprayer hose can instantly improve the functionality of your kitchen sink. Whether you’re swapping out a damaged hose or upgrading to a new faucet with a pull-out sprayer, the process is simpler than you might think. With the right tools and a bit of preparation, you can hook up a new sprayer hose in less than an hour and enjoy the added convenience in your kitchen.

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
Start by shutting off the hot and cold water valves under your sink. This prevents leaks and makes the job safer. Turn on the faucet to release any remaining pressure in the line before disconnecting parts.

Step 2: Disconnect the Old Hose (If Applicable)
If you’re replacing an existing sprayer, locate the hose connection under the sink. Typically, the hose attaches to a diverter on the side of the faucet body. Unscrew or unclip the old hose carefully, keeping a towel or bucket nearby to catch any leftover water.

Step 3: Attach the New Hose to the Sprayer Head
Feed the new hose through the faucet spout or designated opening in your sink. Connect the sprayer head to the hose by tightening the threaded connector securely. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the fittings.

Step 4: Connect the Hose Under the Sink
Attach the other end of the hose to the faucet diverter or designated quick-connect fitting. Many modern faucets include snap-on connectors that make installation straightforward. Ensure the connection clicks or threads on securely to prevent leaks.

Step 5: Test for Leaks
Turn the water valves back on and slowly run the faucet. Pull out the sprayer and check for smooth water flow. Inspect the hose connections under the sink for any leaks. If necessary, tighten the fittings slightly until the connections are watertight.

A new sprayer hose makes everyday kitchen tasks like rinsing vegetables, cleaning dishes, and washing down the sink much easier.
