A kitchen sink hose hangs loosely in the cabinet under the sink and can become damaged as items stored in the cabinet are retrieved and replaced. Most stores do not sell a replacement hose separately, but as part of a kit with a new spray head is already attached. There is no need to turn the water off at the sink for this quick job as long as the faucet is turned off.
