How Do You Fix A Leaking Faucet Hose?
Faucet hoses connect the faucet stems under the sink to the water supply. The faucet hose is also called a faucet water supply line and there is one for the cold and one for the hot. They are connected to either a shut off for the hot and cold water pipes or to the pipes directly if there are no shut offs. Over time, the water supply lines can wear and crack, causing them to leak. When that happens, the best thing to do is replace them. Water supply lines cost about $5, according to 2010 prices, and they can be replaced in about 10 minutes. Turn off the water supply to the faucet by turning the shut off underneath the sink all way the way to the right. If there are no individual shut offs under the sink, you will have to turn off the main water supply shut off for the entire house. Disconnect the hose being replaced from the faucet stem using an adjustable wrench. Using the same wrench, disconnect the water supply line from the shut off, or, if there is no shut off, from the water pipe
