I was attempting to replace my faucet sprayer and hose today and discovered that the hose I bought was not compatible with the faucet. I bought a hose that screws on, the one on the faucet has some sort of connector and a plastic latch and wire holding it together…
So, I have managed to reconnect the old hose and just let the broken sprayer sit for the time being. I'm concerned with how securely I have the sprayer hose on at the moment. My question is – If the water faucet is off and the valves on and the sprayer hose manages to become detached from the underside of the faucet, will there be a torrential outpouring of water, or is the water technically not running through the hose until the faucet itself is turned on?

There is no water pressure to the sprayer unless the faucet itself is turned on. You can verify this by simply depressing the handle on the sprayer while the faucet it off.
