Plastic connector for side sink sprayer hose

[dhrbarton]

I am trying to disconnect the hose that goes to the side sink sprayer in my kitchen, and there is this white plastic connector that I can't figure out. It rotates but doesn't seem to come off.

Anyone know how these particular fittings work? Thanks.

The only way I have ever gotten them loose was to break the two fingers off so it could pull out. what is that connected to, because I cannot figure out why the connection is there.

From the Delta web site……
You will need to press in on the textured portion on the tabs on 2 sides of the white block connector. Once you have applied pressure, push up slightly and then pull the hose down off the fitting.

It looks more like a Pegasus connection, than a Delta one.

Hi, everyone.

So, my sink side sprayer went bad and I need to replace it. I convinced myself that this would be an easy fix, but I ran into an issue. The replacement hose looks like it should just screw on, but the previous one had a connector like the one mentioned above. When the connector is removed, the new one does not screw onto the nipple (?) thing.

I went to Lowe's to see if I could get a part to make it work... or even an all new hose kit, but the guy I talked to said that my only option is to contact the manufacturer for a part. I have no idea who made the sink, but I know the piece is identical to the original photo above. Does anyone know what this is called exactly, a part #, or a link to where I can buy... whatever I need?

Thanks very much.

That's a Peerless "quick connector." They're the cheap DIY line from Delta. When I tried to take it off, I broke off the plastic piece on the nipple that held it on. That turned out to be nearly fatal for the whole kitchen sink. You can find replacement sprayers, but nobody sells that white block thing in stores.

I called Peerless/Delta to ask about it, and they sent a new sprayer and block. Or you can find it online at "Peerless RP60121 Block and O-Rings" .

My next question is, what do I do while I wait for the new part to show up? Is there a way to screw something onto the end of the nipple to block the water so I can continue to use the sink in the meantime?

I hope you figured this out.
