Follow the steps below to install a valve body with hoses into a pull-out spray kitchen faucet.

  1. Make sure to shut off water at the supplies before you start this replacement process.
  2. Remove the handle by loosening the set screw located on the short side of the handle (Fig. 1).
  3. Remove the Phillips screw holding the adapter in place. Then pull off the adapter (Fig. 2).
  4. Pop off the bonnet, or decorative covering, by pulling it off.
  5. Turn off the valve mounting nut by turning it counterclockwise and pull out the valve to remove it (Fig. 3) and (Fig. 4).
  6. Remove the gooseneck spout by pulling up or using a screwdriver to gently pry and pull the spout up (Fig. 5) and (Fig. 6).
  7. Disconnect the pull-out sprayhead hose below the counter by pushing the grey tab on the white connector (Fig. 7).
  8. Pull the hose out through the top of the faucet.
  9. Remove the hose guide that is seated in the underside of the faucet boy by using a set of pliers and grabbing the guide and pulling downward (Fig. 8) and (Fig. 9).
  10. Remove the valve body. Using a pair of needle nose pliers, grab the bottom and upper right holes. Push down first, then pull toward you to remove (Fig. 10) and (Fig. 11).
  11. Pull the valve body out toward you, feeding the hoses out as you pull (Fig. 12).
  12. Insert the new valve body, reversing the above steps to reinstall.
