When you first install a Grohe kitchen faucet, the hose for your water supply is connected to the base of the faucet using connectors. Removing the hose, will takes just under a half hour, if you have some experience handling faucets and appliances. If not, plan to spend an hour or less removing your faucet hoses.
Instructions
1. Shut off the water supply to the faucet by closing the two pipe valves right below the faucet inside the cabinets. These pipes feed water to your faucet, so closing the valves shuts off all water to the appliance.
2. Find the base of the faucet under the counter top and inside the cabinets. Use a flash light to locate this if necessary.
3. Grasp the coupling at the base of the hose. Push the coupling sleeve up and turn counterclockwise to disconnect the union between the two parts. The snap coupling secures the hose to the connector, so it has to be disconnected to remove the hose.
4. Pull the hand spray out of the faucet base, and disconnect the hose at the base of the sprayer by turning the coupling counterclockwise to unscrew the connection. Use a wrench to assist in removal if necessary. Remove the sprayer and pull the hose out of the faucet spout.
5. Keep all parts including the connectors and O rings inside of the connectors to assist in reassembly if you plan to reconnect the hoses in the future.
