Re: Ensen Faucet - tightening hoses
Looking at the one I have here ... you really can't. Not with the flexible hoses, anyways. You just have to tighten as best you can by hand and let the o-rings keep it leak-free.

Used to be these were supplied with hard lines, which wasn't as much of an issue to tighten. It wasn't perfect, though, as those hard lines were metric ... and trying to find the proper fittings here in the US proved to be an issue.
