Follow the steps below to install a valve body with hoses into a pull-out spray kitchen faucet.
- Make sure to shut off water at the supplies before you start this replacement process.
- Remove the handle by loosening the set screw located on the short side of the handle (Fig. 1).
- Remove the Phillips screw holding the adapter in place. Then pull off the adapter (Fig. 2).
- Pop off the bonnet, or decorative covering, by pulling it off.
- Turn off the valve mounting nut by turning it counterclockwise and pull out the valve to remove it (Fig. 3) and (Fig. 4).
- Remove the gooseneck spout by pulling up or using a screwdriver to gently pry and pull the spout up (Fig. 5) and (Fig. 6).
- Disconnect the pull-out sprayhead hose below the counter by pushing the grey tab on the white connector (Fig. 7).
- Pull the hose out through the top of the faucet.
- 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).
