So washing dishes would be much easier if the spray hose worked in my sink...
Obviously it was disconnected, but I need help trying to figure out how to hook it up without flooding the neighbor... again.

It is obvious that this is the only place the hose could could connect to for the spray hose.





Either these should have some form of caps on them, or im missing peices because once you turn the water on, the water flushes right out of these two things.



This is an image of the whole plumbing set up.

My guess is plug the two open pipes and screw the tiny hose into a hot or cold little screw in thing.
There's gotta be a way to have a lukewarm water instead of just hot or cold for the spray hose.

Look up! The hoses usually go up and hook to the faucet, not down at the plumbing...






BTW the little knob on the side of the valve is an air bleeder

Yea what he said. What you have pictured looks like a stop and waist valve. You can't hook the hose up to that.
I don't know how fast my car will go.
It's more important that I know how fast my car will stop.

In the 1st and 3rd pic there some sort of valve there....can you take a pic of that front and back? Might be a place to use an angle stop...or it could be just a gate/ball valve

Also a pic of the top of the sink might help a bit....single hot and cold spigot or one spigot with a mixer under the sink?
Do the spigots work now and you are just missing the sprayer?

Do they sell Y splitters that I can run one to the facet and one to the spray hose? Seems like they are they only options besides the air bleeders that wont work.

Yep. That is probably what you will have to do. Did the sprayer ever work? If so then most of the parts should already be there....gonna eat, then look for my flashlight...found one but it didn't work....and then double check how mine is hooked up..

They re-did a lot of the stuff in the apartment when we moved in. The sprayer never worked. I just discovered more bugs *not the good kind* in the bathroom. It's always something isn't it?

I didn't look at mine until this today...... &&&&

What I have and probably you do too is this.
Hot water from wall to faucet. Cold water from wall to faucet. There should be one more connection on the faucet. The hose for the sprayer runs from that connection. Just remember to run the sprayer hose down from the top of the sink and THEN connect it to the faucet.

Looked at you pics again...last pic in the second set of pics. I'm 99% sure it hooks up to the fitting with nothing hooked up to it.
One other thing you might want to do...
Look on the mfgs website and find that faucet.
Call the 800 number and tell them it is broke.
I did that with one of my faucets. $5.00 shipping and I got a brand new faucet. Just about every mfg. has a lifetime warranty now a days. I called them on it and they honored it. If you have no luck there I would just spend the $24.00...

There's no hole in that think surrounded by the puddy... do you think it has a cap on it. I feel threads. I guess I should turn off the water before messing with it Eh?

Well it either has a cap on it or has enough putty jammed in it that it doesn't leak.
Yep, turn off the water. Oh and in case something under that putty IS brokren, then you probably will be looking for a new faucet.....so wash the dishes first...
