There are several ways to change the sprayer on your kitchen faucet. First, unplug the water supply. Next, find the nipple, which extends from the side of the faucet body. If the nipple is threaded, it should connect with the sprayer hose. Make sure that you have applied pipe joint compound to this area. Then, remove the old sprayer and replace it with a new one.


Unscrew the mounting nut

Ensure that the sprayer housing is secured with a friction washer. Next, unscrew the mounting nut, which is located on the back of the faucet housing. Then, screw on the hose and tighten the hose nut to secure it to the faucet. Before completing the project, turn the water on to check for leaks. Hot water softens the hose tubing, making it easier to extend.

Disconnect the water supply hose

Next, disconnect the water supply hose. The hose should be loose and free of any kinks. If the nipple is clogged, try disassembling the diverter and reattaching it. If the nipple is free of debris, remove it. If you're using a touchless faucet, make sure that the hose is properly attached to the faucet. You should turn on the water supply to ensure that there are no leaks. In case of a leak, turn off the water to test for leaks. If there are any, turn on the water to check for any problems. If the nipple is loose, it could be the result of mineral buildup on the faucet. This is especially common in hard water areas.
