On our #62, the hose attachment is reached by removing the dawer unit in the
aft cabin. It has a screw-on coupling under the faucet set. I can't relate
it to any standard plumbing connection though it might well be a common
thread size and pitch.
When we took delivery 3 years ago, there was a leak at the connection. I'm
going on an ageing memory now... When I removed the hose conection from the
faucet attachment I remember that the connection was pushed on to the hose
somehow. I merely re-set the hose on the fitting, made sure the washer was
in-place, and reattached it. No problems since. I think if you take a look
at it, it will be obvious.
I also took the spray handle off the hose removed the obvious parts and
soaked it in a vinegar solution for a couple of hours. The mineral deposits
soften and are easily brushed/wiped off. It has functioned well for the
past 3 years.
