Grandiance 88624000 Pull-out Hose Combo for Hansgrohe Kitchen Faucets, Pull-down Spray Hose Replacement with Brass Connectors, 59-Inch + 10.5-Inch

For a pleasant surprise, this installed quickly and worked fine the first time. The two glitches were not the fault of the hose. First, I had a hard time releasing the original hose from the quick-release clamp. (I reused the short pigtail from the original install, so didn't need or use the one that comes with this hose) Two opposing release tabs needed to be depressed at the same time and the old nipple pulled out. I ended up grinding a pair of pliers to do the pressing while I pulled hard on the fitting to get it out. After 15 years it was a little stuck. Second, the hinge to the plastic-enclosed lead weight broke. Too brittle after 15 years. I ended up sanding the broken bits off and wrapping twine and electricians tape around the weight to re-attach it. Once those two setbacks were accomplished, the retractable faucet works as good as new. No leaks and no difficulty (which I was anticipating) in getting the new hose through the narrow opening in the faucet. I pushed it in, hit a few restrictions, re-positioned it, and pushed again. Third try and it went right through. Start to finish - about 30 minutes. The hardest part was cleaning out all of the junk stored beneath the sink. BTW - no need to turn off the water supplies. The hose is not under pressure when not in use.

It fit perfect and I have been using for a couple of weeks with no issues and a lot cheaper than my local hardware store.

Did the job. Water leak gone

Easy install, plus $30 bucks cheaper than Hansgrohe.
