Review on Kohler 1186675 KOHLER Replacement Part by Tim Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Poorly designed Kohler kitchen faucet

This part is required to connect the Kohler supplied hose from the faucet spray head to the faucet under the kitchen sink. The original part was damaged during disassembly by a plumber due to poor Kohler design. Most faucet manufacturers use plastic or nylon clamps for easy do-it-yourself assembly. Installers had some difficulty figuring out proper o-ring placement during reinstallation due to poor quality product documentation accompanying the part (or shown in Kohler DIY or Pro YouTube videos). Once installed it worked fine. Since this part is likely to be damaged upon removal, whenever you call Kohler for a free hose replacement under the lifetime warranty program, always ask for a replacement. This part is not included with the hose unless you ask for it. This part is chargeable even if the hose is free.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
