How to Replace a Kitchen Sink Sprayer With a Soap Dispenser

Sink sprayers sit in pre-made holes.

The kitchen sink sprayer, also known as a vegetable sprayer, is located on the top of the sink next to the faucet. If you do not use it or it is broken, you can remove it and use the hole by installing a soap dispenser. This removes the clutter of having soap dispensers on your counter. The process simply involves disconnecting the sink sprayer from the faucet and screwing the soap dispenser into place.

Things You'll Need

• Adjustable pliers
• Damp sponge

Instructions

1. Turn the hot and cold water off under the sink by turning the knobs to the right all the way. Open the faucet to let out any remaining water in the lines.

2. Unscrew the hose from the valve under the sink using an adjustable pliers. Pull the sink sprayer up and away from the sink, pulling the loosened hose out through the same hole. Wipe down the edges of the hole with a damp cloth.

3. Push the threaded end of the soap dispenser's reservoir up through the hole. Screw the dispenser ring over the threaded end of the reservoir to hold it in place.

4. Pour your choice of soap into the reservoir until it is full. Lower the pump into the reservoir and screw it into place until it is secure.
