3. Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:
- Hansgrohe 95048000 Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet Hose (or updated part number 88624000)
- Installation instructions (this document)
Note: The faucet weight and spray head are typically not included with the replacement hose and should be reused from your existing faucet.
4. Tools Required
- Adjustable wrench or basin wrench
- Phillips head screwdriver (for faucet weight, if applicable)
- Bucket or towel (to catch drips)
- Flashlight (for under-sink visibility)
- String or wire puller (optional, but highly recommended for easier hose routing)
5. Installation
5.1. Before You Begin
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
- Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves located under the sink.
- Open the faucet handle to relieve any remaining water pressure.
5.2. Hose Replacement Steps
- Disconnect the Old Hose: Under the sink, locate where the pull-out hose connects to the main water line or quick-connect fitting. Disconnect it. You may need a wrench. Have a bucket ready for any residual water.
- Remove the Faucet Weight: Locate the weight attached to the pull-out hose. Unscrew or unclip it and remove it from the old hose.
- Prepare for Old Hose Removal: Important: Before pulling out the old hose, securely tie a strong string or thin wire to the spray head end of the old hose. This string will be used to guide the new hose through the faucet body.
- Remove Old Hose: From above the sink, pull the spray head and the old hose completely out of the faucet body. The string should now be threaded through the faucet body.
- Attach New Hose to String: Securely tie the string from the faucet body to the spray head end of the new Hansgrohe 95048000 hose.
- Install New Hose: Carefully pull the string from under the sink, guiding the new hose through the faucet body until the spray head end emerges from the faucet spout. Ensure the hose does not kink during this process.
- Connect Spray Head: Attach your existing spray head to the newly installed hose. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a quarter turn if necessary, being careful not to overtighten.
- Reattach Faucet Weight: Slide the old faucet weight onto the new hose. The new hose (part number 88624000) may have a slightly smaller diameter than the original 95048000. If the weight does not secure tightly, you may need to wrap a few layers of electrical tape around the hose where the weight attaches to ensure a snug fit.
- Connect Water Line: Under the sink, connect the new hose to the main water line or quick-connect fitting. Ensure a tight, leak-free connection.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check all connections for leaks. Operate the pull-out spray head to ensure smooth extension and retraction.

6. Operation
The Hansgrohe 95048000 pull-out hose allows for extended reach and flexibility of your kitchen faucet's spray head. Simply grasp the spray head and pull it out from the faucet spout. When finished, guide the spray head back into the spout. The faucet weight under the sink will assist in retracting the hose smoothly.
7. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the hose under the sink for any signs of wear, kinks, or leaks.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the hose with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Weight Check: Ensure the faucet weight remains securely attached to the hose and moves freely, allowing for proper retraction.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaks at connections | Loose connection, damaged O-ring, or improper sealing. | Ensure connections are tight. Check and replace O-rings if damaged. Apply plumber's tape if necessary (though not typically needed for quick-connects). |
| Hose kinks or does not retract smoothly | Obstruction under the sink, hose routed incorrectly, or weight not properly positioned/secured. | Clear any obstructions. Re-route the hose to avoid sharp bends. Ensure the faucet weight is securely attached and can move freely. If the new hose is smaller in diameter, ensure the weight is snug (e.g., by adding tape). |
| Low water flow from spray head | Aerator or spray head clogged, or kink in the hose. | Remove and clean the spray head's aerator. Check the hose for kinks. |
| Faucet weight slides on hose | New hose diameter is smaller than original, preventing the weight from gripping. | Wrap a few layers of electrical tape around the hose where the weight attaches to increase its diameter and provide a snug fit for the weight. |
