Delta Faucet RP44647 Chrome Single Handle Kitchen Sink Faucet with Pull-Down Spray

Mr BillMr Bill: The Delta web site says the RP44647 is the correct replacement hose for the Delta 474 and 476 Single Lever Waterfall Pull Out kitchen faucets. Our faucet is vintage 2006 and the RP44647 fit perfectly. The hose part number listed in the 474/476 documentation included with our faucet is RP32527 and you can still purchase that hose on Amazon for about $20 more than the RP44647, but why would you do that? As noted in other reviews, the RP44647 hose has a braided jacket where the original hose had a spiral stainless jacket so it's more flexible than the original. Installation was easier than I anticipated. Although the proprietary "snap-on" connector for one end of the hose means that you absolutely must use the genuine Delta part, it really does make for a much easier connection than having to use a wrench or pliers to turn a nut or threaded sleeve located way, way up under the countertop and behind the sink(s). The RP44647 includes a new O-ring and a new clip. Note that after installing the new hose the water will have a slight "garden hose" odor/taste for the first day or so.

The hose on our unit failed on Christmas Day, of course, when we had our daughter,...

J. S. Peterson: This was the perfect replacement for my leaky original hose on my Delta faucet. No problems after the installation! Except for the awkward body position I needed to reach for the connections under my sink, the process was really quite easy. After you disconnect the old hose at both ends, you must remove and discard the old O-ring from the faucet connection, and then install the new O-ring to replace it as provided in the kit before connecting things up. That O-ring removal was finally done using a small needle-nose pliers (after failing to do so repeatedly with my slippery fingers). Once I started using that tool, I got it off in a second. The new O-ring then slides on easily, and after connecting the hose, the retaining clip goes on easily, too. And yes, I did read the instructions first.

jhl714: I bought this as a replacement for my original Delta Waterfall hose. It's a pretty slick design, no tools required. The original hose had a flexible chrome cover. This replacement hose might not be as pretty as the chrome but it is probably more robust. My faucet is the Stainless Steel finish so this hose actually matches better than the chrome. The hardest part of this job for me was removing the old o-ring and replacing with the new o-ring (provided), just because I was lying on my back under the sink with very little room. Not sure why they provide 3 o-rings in the kit, only one is required. My original hose had a zinc weight attached to it, presumably for two purposes 1) to act as a stop, so you can only pull the sprayer out until it hits the zinc weight and 2) to assist in retracting the hose when you return the sprayer to the faucet. This repair kit does not mention the weight, but I decided it is a nice feature so I would continue to use it. The new hose is slightly smaller diameter than the previous flexible chrome cover, so the lead weight was not very secure. I wrapped a bit of electrical tape around the hose to increase the diameter and the lead weight...
