88624000 Pull-out Hose Combo for Hansgrohe Kitchen Faucets, Pull-down Spray Hose Replacement with Brass Connectors, 59-Inch + 10.5-Inch

A perfect fit and a sub-5min job. The pull/slide is also much smoother and easier. We have two sinks in our kitchen and the one in the island still has the original hose. The difference in action between the two sinks is stark and favors this hose. Hans Grohe should take notes.

For a pleasant surprise, this installed quickly and worked fine the first time. The two glitches were not the fault of the hose. First, I had a hard time releasing the original hose from the quick-release clamp. (I reused the short pigtail from the original install, so didn't need or use the one that comes with this hose) Two opposing release tabs needed to be depressed at the same time and the old nipple pulled out. I ended up grinding a pair of pliers to do the pressing while I pulled hard on the fitting to get it out. After 15 years it was a little stuck. Second, the hinge to the plastic-enclosed lead weight broke. Too brittle after 15 years. I ended up sanding the broken bits off and wrapping twine and electricians tape around the weight to re-attach it. Once those two setbacks were accomplished, the retractable faucet works as good as new. No leaks and no difficulty (which I was anticipating) in getting the new hose through the narrow opening in the faucet. I pushed it in, hit a few restrictions, re-positioned it, and pushed again. Third try and it went right through. Start to finish - about 30 minutes. The hardest part was cleaning out all of the junk stored beneath the sink. BTW - no need to turn off the water supplies. The hose is not under pressure when not in use.

The hose in this kit is lighter than the original, with a smoother outer braid. As such, once installed, it slides more freely. I've had to reduce the amount of effort I exert when pulling the sprayer out, which is a good thing. I think it will help with wear and tear.Installation was quick and easy. I tied a string to the bottom of the old hose before removing it and tied it to the bottom of the new one, just to help guide it through the hole at the bottom of the faucet during installation. I didn't use the short extension hose. My original was still in good shape, so I just left it in.The cost was much cheaper than OEM. I was already on my second OEM hose when it started leaking again. The first lasted about 2 years, the second about 6. The manufacturer replaced it the first time, but considered it a normal wear issue with the second. If this one lasts at least 3 years, I will consider it a bargain.

Item is not compatible with my very typical Hansgrohe faucet that I purchased from Costco. It looks the same and appears to be identical. It is not. It does not fit. Unfortunately I did not figure this out until after the return period was over. Also the quality of the hose is inferior to the original. The original is steel braided whereas this replacement feels like it is made out of plastic. Don't waste your time or money.

This comes in a set of two parts. One that connects to the faucet and the other that connects to the water inlet. They connect by a quick connection. I had a leak at the quick connection. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use the part that connected to the faucet because I couldn’t disassemble the faucet to get where it attached. However, the portion that connected to the water inlet fit and attached nicely to the old quick connection. It stopped the leak, so in the end it worked fine for me.

1 for 1 replacement for my Grohe kitchen faucet. We had slow water delivery due to calcium build up in the hose and after replacing the hose we were back to full force water flow.

Fit our kitchen faucet perfectly. It is a fraction of the cost of the Grohe replacement.

The hose is a good price but does not fit on both ends of the hose connections for a Hansgrohe Cento kitchen faucet. I got the manufacturer’s replacement hose which fit correctly.
