Installation Guide
The Moen 114299 Replacement Hose Kit is designed for easy installation, primarily utilizing Duralock quick-connect technology. Before beginning, ensure the water supply to the faucet is turned off.
Steps for Replacement:
- Prepare the Area: Clear the space under the sink for easy access to the faucet connections. Place a towel or bucket to catch any residual water.
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink and turn them off completely. Turn on the faucet handles to relieve any remaining water pressure.
- Disconnect Old Hose: Identify the existing hose connections. The Duralock quick-connect system allows for easy disconnection by pressing the release tabs or collar and pulling the hose away from the faucet body or supply lines.
- Install New Hose: Take the new Moen 114299 hose kit. Align the Duralock quick-connect ends with the corresponding ports on your faucet and supply lines. Push firmly until you hear a click, indicating a secure connection. Gently tug on the hose to ensure it is properly seated and will not pull free.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn the hot and cold water supply valves back on. Inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are present, ensure the Duralock connections are fully engaged.
- Test Faucet: Turn on the faucet to ensure proper water flow and temperature mixing.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your replacement hose kit, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
