Hi guys!

Hoping you can be of help to me.
Yesterday I purchased a replacement hose sprayer head for my kitchen
sink.
I was able to remove the old snap ring with a pocket knife but can't get
on the new one.

Any ideas or solutions to my dilemma
would be greatly appreciated.
Also is the snap ring an absolute necessity? I assembled it without the
snap ring as the replacement has a much thicker rubber washer than the
original one and on a limited trial basis it seems okay. I don't want to
chance anything though.

Inner or outer ring? It's been a long time since I fooled w/ one of
these and can't recall where there is a snap ring.

As for is it needed--I'm sure they didn't make it with one for no
purpose...

I suspect it may work fine w/o it but you'll find that some time quite
unexpectedly it will let got and you'll get water all over where you
don't want it if you leave it off...
