Abstract
A kitchen deck side spray assembly for attachment to a water hose includes a spray body having spray openings. There is a water path in the spray body connecting the spray openings with the hose. A valve member is located in the water path and there is a spring biasing the valve member to a normally closed position. A trigger on the spray body is in operative relationship with the valve member for causing movement thereof to operate the spray. A tube is connected to the water hose and there is a quick connect adapter positioned within the spray body. There are cooperating elements on the tube and the quick connect adapter for locking the tube to the adapter to thereby attach the side spray assembly to the hose. The side spray may be disassembled from the hose, completely from above the sink deck, permitting the exterior of the side spray to be replaced without the necessity of work being done underneath the sink deck.
