Hi, Unfortunately I bought a Kraus faucet from Home Depot and the end of the hose that connects to the faucet keeps sliding of eventually . I noticed this morning that before it comes off it will leak. It just slides on to the connection. Any suggestions on how to remedy thew problem ? I have thought about using loctite or plumbers tape or putty but I'm unsure. Especially loctite because the connection swivels. Right now I have the spring that the hose runs through and that keeps the hose up off so I can keep an eye on the connection. I would jut go but a different faucet but I pad 300 bucks for this one and have seen very little mileage out of it. I went on Home depots website and it is showing no record of the purchase. I have no idea exactly when I bought it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
 
Which faucet? Post a link. They have several.
Is it the hose connection to the hand unit that is coming apart?

No its the connection to the faucet. If you look at the picture in the link the connection is hidden by the spring that holds the sprayer. I think its a defective hose. Ive emailed Kraus so I'm waiting to hear back from them. However at the same link there is a review whee someone has the same problem and Kraus's advice wqas to slide the connection back on. Which I have done about 3 or 4 times now. It takes a month or two for the connection to come off. I think the crimp on the hose is bad. Thats why I was wondering if teflon tape or loctite would help.
