Installing a Basin Faucet Using a Hose Connector

Buy a hose connector

To install a new bathroom faucet, you must first buy a hose connector. There are two types: a straight and a curved hose. A straight spout consists of a metal spout attached to a valve, while a curved spout is connected to a cartridge. The hose connector screws onto the faucet adapter. You must first remove the old spout. If the hose is not screwed on properly, the connection may leak. If this is the case, you must replace the spout.

Consider the supply line

The supply line should be cut with a PVC or copper tubing cutter. You should leave a few inches extra tubing to avoid kinking. Then, position the angle stop valve's intake port against the bottom of the faucet spout. If it is a straight spout, you should cut an extra inch from the spout. You should measure the length of the spout from the nut to the bottom of the faucet spout and slip over the small end of the supply tube.

Another common type of faucet supply line is flexible. These are the most expensive and are made from durable plastic. They are easy to install, come with locking nuts, and a vinyl sleeve. They feature a stainless steel sleeve and can withstand high water pressure. Some upgraded versions even include a sensor attached to the valve connection for emergency shut-off. If you're not sure which one to buy, check with the local hardware store.

Install the pipes and hoses

Before installing a new copper bathroom faucet, you must first install the pipes and hoses. Your plumbing installation will consist of two pipe-threads: the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe. Then, you will need to connect the valves and the faucet. Then, the hoses will connect to the valves and sink. It is important to remember to be careful when reinstalling a faucet, as the plumbing system may be outdated.

Remove the nut and washer

The nut and washer will hold the beveled end of the supply line against the intake port. You can remove the nut and washer to connect the hose to the faucet. The nut will hold the copper sleeve against the nozzle or tap. Then, you can install the hose to the faucet. Then, you need to install the nut on the hose. When the nut and washer are installed, the hose will fit perfectly.

Besides a hose, a bathroom faucet hose connector is an essential part of a bathtub. Using a bucket to fill a bath tub with water from the garden spout provides hot and cold water. Adding a garden spout to a kitchen spout allows you to attach a bare-handed. You can also use a hose attached to the kitchen faucet.
