Question:

I need help installing a new hose for my faucet!?

I do not know much about handiwork but I am forced to do it anyway. I ordered a new hose (old one was leaky) for my kitchen faucet. I was able to attach the new hose to the faucet, but am having trouble connecting the other side to the water line.The line runs vertically and is in a tight corner which is preventing me from getting in there with plyers or a wrench. I try to turn the hose counter-clockwise against the water line it is attached to, but the awkward placement of the line is making it very difficult to exert direct forceI feel there is a special tool/ technique I can use to detach the old hose and attach the new onePLESAE HELP

Answer:

replace the whole faucet or do without a sprayer.
Go to Amazon and enter this: Ridgid 31180 1-1/4-Inch-to-2-1/2-Inch Capacity 10-Inch-to-17-Inch Heavy Duty Telescoping Basin Wrench It will allow you to reach and turn the nuts.
you will need whats called a Basin Wrench to reach up into that small area and unscrew it. any hardware store will have them, and the cheapest one will be fine, the expensive ones are just more durable and adjustable for us plumbers that use them everyday. good luck
