How to Install a Kitchen Sink Spray Hose

Washing dishes can be much easier when you have a sprayer attached to your kitchen sink. Those big pots that don't fit under the faucet now become a breeze to rinse off. Filling a pot with water to boil used to mean having to empty the sink so you could put the pot in it--not so with a sprayer: leave the pot on the counter and bring the sprayer to the pot. Installing the sprayer is an easy project as long as the sink and faucet system is set up for one. You can complete this project by yourself in less than an hour.

• Sprayer kit Basin wrench

1. Turn the water valve to the off position under the sink. Put a bucket or towel under the the faucet assembly in the cabinet to catch the water that is still in the pipes.

2. Take the cap off from beneath the faucet assembly. It will be located between the hot and cold water lines.

3. Install the holder for the sprayer into the hole in the sink and tighten the nut under the sink. Pull the hose down through the holder to inside the cabinet.

4. Attach the hose to the faucet assembly connection. Turn the water valve back on and check for leaks.
