Hi!
We have a kitchen sink faucet with a pull-out hose (I don't have a pic of the faucet, hope to get one later and post), and the hose connection under the sink was leaking. It has leaked in the past, and a handyman fixed it with a white plastic part that connects to the pip with a little white clip. Then a small piece of pipe (see picture) connected the white plastic piece to the hose. Recently, the larger white plastic tube came off, and when re-attached, wouldn't stay on. I think the outside of the white clip wore down, but I'm not sure.
The folks at the hardware store(s) didn't recognize the white plastic adapter, and sold me numerous "universal" hoses with many adapters. The closest I've gotten was something called a "snap coupler" that had some ball bearings inside a female end that snapped up onto the pipe (like this http://www.homedepot.com/p/NEOPERL-3-4-in-Solid-Brass-Small-Snap-Coupler-37-0101-98/100665996), then another connector to connect the male end of the coupler to the male end of the hose. But where the coupler and the adapter fit together, it still leaks (despite pipe dope or teflon tape).
I don't know the make of the faucet, but I just read that might be listed on one of the pipes. I'll check that tonight and see if it's there and if the manufacturer can help.
In the meantime, any advice is greatly appreciated!
