Changing a Hose on Grohe Kitchen Faucet (1)

The video shows you how to change the hose on the Grohe pull out or pull down kitchen faucet. As I mentioned in the video, all the Grohe hose are interchangeable.
Thanks for watching!

question: can I use a metal hose in replacement of the braided nylon hose with counterweight? You mentioned that "in theory" they are interchangeable ...but i'd like to know if it's actually doable. Thanks!

[@dannylyl]

Yes, it's doable. Grohe has two types of the metal hose 46174 and 46092, so you can find out the difference by google their pictures. The different is the coupling.The worst senario is re-use the old coupling from the old nylon braided hose.

This video doesn't solve my problem: I've removed the old hose, but I cannot thread the new hose down the throat of the faucet that the old hose easily came out of. The new hose hits a "brick wall" about 5 inches in and won't turn the corner to go down underneath the cabinet. What am I doing wrong? FYI, I'm sure the replacement hose is the exact same one that was originally installed on this faucet. Could it be that you have to raise the lever to the open position in order for the hose to pass down? (which would mean, that you have to shut the water sources down, which I didn't need to do just to remove the old hose).

Hello Norma, I am really sorry to hear that you have some difficulties to insert new hose through the faucet. I will suggest to wiggling the spout while puting the hose throuhg. Or advsie the model number of the faucet, so that I can assist you further

yeah, so this doesn't work, maybe in a perfect world, but not this one. 2 problems, 1. the old hose could not be removed without being cut because the threaded portion that the quick connect coupling attaches to is the same diameter as the brass stack that secures the faucet in place. after cutting and removing the defective hose, the new hose has the same problem and cannot be fed through the brass stack. anyone else experience this?

I suggest not cutting the flex hose. The Grohe representative told me to cut it but I thought it would be jagged and even harder to pull through. I had the idea of spraying the very end of the hose with white lithium grease. I did that and let it set for a minute. I started pulling it and it slipped past the metal stack at the top. The new one slipped through with no problem. My faucet is over 20 years old and there is probably some crusty stuff in the hose stack. Hope the grease trick might work for others.😊
