Outdoor kitchen water

[08quadram]

Has anyone found a good way to stop the water lines to the kitchen from leaking? Typically it is the connection to the faucet that leaks. Never fails every time out I have to tighten the connection more than once. I've tried plumber's tape, but moving the sink in and out continually loosens the connection. It is just a 90 degree elbow with hose connections.

Thoughts?

I've never had a leak at my outside kitchen faucet. Mine is only a year old, and I've slid it out probably 50 times. Maybe there is not enough slack in the hoses, putting extra strain on the connections?

Never had a problem either with my outside kitchen that gets a lot if use. I bet something is cracked. I would replace the elbow and connector/retainer all the evinvolved components

It is j u still the plastic garden hose connectors unscrewing themselves. Doesn't matter how I position the elbows/ hoses, they still rotate slightly when pulled out. After several slides, I have to tighten them back up. Just annoying when they start leaking in the middle of the night.

A picture of how the hoses are routed would be helpful. I would study how the hoses are routed/connected. Perhaps some wire ties to help support the hoses or installing hoses that are longer.

Standard stuff I assume. I was having issues on the connection to the lines coming from the trailer. Those I was able to keep from coming loose by Teflon tape.

Try cleaning or Replace the oring in them. Then reighten i ended up using pliers to the point of almost breaking them

They don't have O rings, they are cone washers. If you do replace them pay attention to how they are facing when you install them.

You might try zip tying the lines together in a couple of places to limit movement.
