The faucet pull down sprayer won't stay up. Hose seams too long.

Turn off the water supply valves beneath the kitchen sink. Turn on the faucet and squeeze the trigger on the sprayer to empty any water left in the supply lines, faucet and sprayer.
Trace the sprayer hose from the end of the sprayer to where it connects to the faucet. Use pliers to loosen the connector holding the sprayer hose to the faucet.
Remove the sprayer hose from the faucet to expose the male threads. Wipe the threads dry with a towel. Wrap the threads with pipe-joint tape. Twist a 3/8-inch threaded brass flair cap onto the male threads. Use the pliers to tighten the cap.
Reach beneath the sink and loosen the mounting nut securing the sprayer support to the sink or countertop. Use a basin wrench if you are unable to reach the mounting nut with your hand.
Slide the mounting nut off the hose attached to the sprayer beneath the sink. Pull the sprayer support and the sprayer from the hole in the sink or countertop.
Insert a sink hole cover into the hole left by the sprayer. Depending on the style of hole cover, it could snap in, or a mounting nut could hold it in place.

Things You Will Need

• Pliers
• Towel
• Pipe-joint tape
• 3/8-inch threaded brass flair cap
• Basin wrench
• Sink hole cover

Faucet hoses use gravity to pull them back down into position. You want to add some weight to the hose or clear the space underneath your sink. Usually a big heavy nut will do the job as well.

The faucet is "pulled" back into its holder by the force of a small weight which is attached to the hose. Either the weight has slipped down the hose or it's getting hung-up on something under the sink.
If it has slipped, loosen the phillips-head screws which hold it in place and slide it up toward the faucet. Tighten the screws and check to see if it holds. If it doesn't, something like electrical tape, or a thin nylon zip-tie will hold it there. Just wrap the hose underneath the weigh so that it can't slide down.
If the weight is hanging up on something, you'll have to figure out how to stop it from happening. Moving the weight up a bit usually wont make the faucet difficult to use. People don't usually pull it out all the way.
Hope this helps.

If you can, look up under sink for hose attached to faucet. There should be a weight on the hose, to assist in retracting it. Usually just a bolted on round lead weight that wraps around the metal sleeve of the hose. Perhaps he forgot it, or it needs to be moved/adjusted by loosening off the bolts that hold it together and sliding it up or down the hose. He may have even routed hose wrong. Have someone pull it out and slide back in while you watch it.

you need pressure to make the spray stay on so maybe check the valve under the sink to see if it has turn almost off, that happen when the pull out nozzle gets returned and the heavy weight on the hose hits the hose

check out the spring on the hose under the sink, sometimes they come loose on one end and they lose their spring back into the faucet

Hi, most pull out sprayers have the hose hanging under sink, the one you had to pull to retract. They come with a weight that is to be installed at bottom of loop with sprayer in "parked" position. If there is no weight, that's the problem, if there is, make sure there is nothing in the way of full movement of this hose when it pulls into the parked position. It can sometimes also be something like a wood splinter, clamp, screw, pipe or other obstruction rubbing against your hose keeping it from falling properly (as longg as that weight is on it). Let me know if this helps! Thanks

Make sure that there is a weighted ball connected about halfway down the retracting hose. If not you need to go to a supply house and purchase one and its a simple install.However if there is one attached you can loosen the 2 screws and slide it up closer to faucett but not so far that you can't pull out the sprayer as far as you need. Also make sure nothing is obstructing it under the sink. bottles, cleaners, etc.

It may also be a missing weight on the sprayer hose, or that the sprayer hose is obstructed. Open up the cabinet under the sink and look a half-loop of the sprayer hose that should be hanging down from the underside of the faucet. It must be able to descend without obstruction as you return the sprayer to the body of the faucet. If it is resting on a box of dishwashing soap or otherwise obstructed, then it doesn't have it's full weight to counterbalance the weight of the sprayer head. Capice? It needs the weight of the hose to 'weight it down'. Also, there should be a donut-shaped weight around the hose that should be able to freely slide to tha lowest position of the half-loop as the sprayer is extended and returned. Make sure that's working too.

Many new faucets require some assembly before mounting to the sink; if that is the case, follow the manufacturer's directions. With most pullout sprayer faucets, the sprayer needs to be threaded through the faucet body first. Insert the rubber gasket between the base plate of the faucet and the sink top to create a watertight seal. If no gasket is provided, pack the cavity of the faucet with plumber's putty, then insert the faucet body through the holes in the sink top. Thread the mounting nuts provided onto the faucet shafts, then center the threaded shafts in the sink's holes and tighten the nuts firmly. Many manufacturers include a special long socket specifically to aid in tightening the mounting nuts. A hole in the socket accepts the shank of a screwdriver, guiding it as you tighten the nuts. If you're mounting the faucet on an installed sink, use this method. If you're installing a pullout sprayer faucet--or a faucet with a separate sprayer--now is the time to connect the sprayer to the faucet body. Check the manufacturer's directions to see if using pipe-wrap tape for this connection is recommended. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the connection. Most pullout sprayer faucets and faucets with separate sprayers come with a counterweight that attaches to the sprayer hose. This weight helps retract the hose back in to the sink cabinet after you've used the sprayer. Follow the manufacturer's directions on where to secure the weight, and take care not to crimp the hose as you attach the weight. Hook up the faucet's hot and cold supply lines to the water supply shutoff valves under the sink. If necessary, gently bend the copper tubes coming out of the faucet for better access and connect flexible supply tubes to them. Simply wrap a couple of turns of pipe-wrap tape around the threaded nipples on the valves and connect the tubes. Tighten the nuts with an adjustable wrench.
