A
sink sprayer adds functionality to
your sink. They're easy to attach,
but you'll need a sink with a hole
intended for a sink sprayer. As with
any plumbing part, you'll be better
off in the long run if you choose a
quality sprayer from a well-known
manufacturer.

| STEPS |
|
 |
 |
Apply
a 1/4-inch bead of plumber's putty
to the bottom edge of the sprayer
base. Put the tailpiece of the
sprayer base into the sink opening. |
|
|
 |

|
From
underneath the sink, put a friction
washer over the tailpiece. Screw the
mounting nut onto the tailpiece and
tighten it with a basin wrench or
with a pair of slip joint pliers.
Wipe away any excess putty from
around the base. |
|
 |
 |
Use
your fingers to screw the sprayer
hose onto the hose nipple on the
bottom of the faucet. After
hand-tightening the hose nut,
tighten it another one quarter-turn,
using a basin wrench or a pair of
slip joint pliers. |
