Price Pfister Quick Connect Leak

Author: PhilR (OR)

I have a Price Pfister Contempra 526 kitchen faucet. It has started leaking at the quick connect where the pull-down hose attaches to the copper tube tht comes out of the handle. I can get it apart with great difficulty, and there is a grey insert with little teeth, and an -ring seated in the hose. I've tried to get it back together a couple of times, and now it leaks even worse. Are there any tricks to getting this back together without leaking? The online help at PP says I need to get a whole new hose.

Thanks

Phil

Author: PhilR (OR) hj, Thanks for the quick response. I assume that installation is pretty straightforward. Seat the o-ring, insert the gray coupling, and then slide onto the copper tube? Thanks.
