    Using shower makes SINK hot water hose leak?
    Husband recently put in a tub spout, and faucets in bathroom sink. While taking a shower, the HOT WATER HOSE UNDER THE SINK starts leaking at the connection! He tightened it back up yesterday and it did it again this morning.

    Hi Iamsusi...

    Have the hubby test the connection without using the shower by taking toilet paper and drying the entire faucet hose (supply line) and connections and then after he is sure all is real dry, wrap the toilet paper around the top and bottom connections of the hose (supply). Then have him walk away for an hour (no shower use) and then have him check the toilet paper for wetness. If the toilet paper is wet the supply needs to be replaced... ;)

    A supply hose (supply) can actually be over-tightened and that may be the case here.

    Let me know the result, OK?
