Grohe 46138000 1/2 in. Quick Coupling, one-size

Price is very high for what it is.

N/A

Lifesaver- stopped leak & avoided me having to put a whole new faucet in. Old part went bad after 5 yrs. Home Depot & Lowes does not sell this item. No plumber needed to install.

it was exactly what we needed.

not like back in the day, easy peazie lemon squeezee. i thought it was going to be a nightmare, i did not know anything about the sink in the new house. when this happened can of worms piped into my head. nope , put on the new hose i ordered for the faucet , click done.

Quick replacement for a better seal

This was a perfect fit and easy (as DIY plumbing goes) to install. There are no instructions that come with the item, but I read the other reviews and googled it to figure out how to install it. Simply put, the black end is a screw in joint. The yellow (or whatever color) end is a pull-down release/lock. To remove the broken coupling, place a basin of some sort under the sink to catch water. TURN OFF YOUR WATER VALVES UNDER THE SINK. Reach up to the coupling with both hands, hold the coupling with one hand and pull down on the colored portion with the other. This will allow the coupling to be released from metal pipe. Carefully pull the coupling away from the pipe while staying away from natural flow of water. Allow the hose and pipe to drain out into the catch basin. Unscrew the black end from the hose and dry the hose threads. If the teflon tape is eroded, remove the old one and add a new one. Teflon tape is used on many screw in joints and is easily purchased at a hardware store. Screw on the coupling, but do not over-tighten. What does that mean? It needs to be secure enough to not leak, but not so tight that its as far as you can get it. Hand-tightening is fine. Theres no need for a wrench unless you have hand strength problems. Re-attach colored end to the pipe by holding the coupling with one hand, while pulling the colored portion down as you push it onto the metal pipe. Push all the way up and release the colored portion. You should hear/feel it snap in place. Tug down on it to make sure its secure. Voila! You are done. Remember to turn you water back on. Keep the basin in place until youve tested the installation fully. Watch for leaks. Turn on and off several times, running the water for long and short periods. Any leaks are probably from the black end not being tight enough. If the colored end is not secure, it will pop off while you are running the water. Last bit of advice, its worth paying extra for the overnight shipping, since you are saving a ton by not calling a plumber. I first checked to see if I could find the part at a local brick and mortar supplier, but had no luck. I doubt a plumber could get it for you faster unless the company carries it on their own.

Great buy!

easy to install, but be cautious because the plastic threads will crack if you try to put it on too tight. For that reason and the high cost is why I did not rate this product five stars.

Well built, stopped leak of my Ladylux faucet.
