Changing Bathroom Sink Hose

Change Your Bathroom Sink Hose Like a Pro

Replacing a bathroom sink hose is a simple plumbing task that can be completed in a matter of minutes. Here's a quick guide to help you get the job done:

Tools You'll Need:

Adjustable wrench
New hose
Bucket
Cloth

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Turn off the water supply. Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to close them.
Place a bucket under the sink. This will catch any water that spills out when you remove the hose.
Loosen the connection nuts. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts that connect the hose to the faucet and the water supply pipe.
Remove the old hose. Pull the old hose off carefully to avoid damaging the connections.
Install the new hose. Screw the new hose onto the faucet and the water supply pipe. Hand-tighten the nuts as much as possible.
Tighten the nuts with a wrench. Use the adjustable wrench to further tighten the nuts until they are snug but not overly tight.
Turn on the water supply. Open the shut-off valves to turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
Tighten the nuts further if necessary. If you notice any leaks, use the wrench to further tighten the nuts until the leaks stop.

Tips:

If the connection nuts are particularly rusty or corroded, you may need to use a penetrating oil to loosen them.
Inspect the new hose before installing it to make sure it is not damaged.
Place a cloth over the nuts when tightening them to prevent scratching the finish.
If you are not comfortable replacing the hose yourself, contact a licensed plumber for assistance.

By following these simple steps, you can easily replace your bathroom sink hose and keep your plumbing system running smoothly.
