Kitchen mixer tap with 'shower'

[NMiller]

I've got a kitchen mixer with a shower - the tap is attached to a hose and can be pull out. I've got 2 questions:
1. the set has the tap unit, hose, tap head, etc. and 3 flexible connection pipes (2 long, 1 short). Tap base has 3 identical inlet holes and a hole for the hose. I suppose the short connection pipe connects to the hose end and middle inlet hole in the base?
2. There is also a weighted bracket shaped like a lozenge which fits round a pipe. The question is which pipe?
Thanks

The middle base oulet will be for the flexible pull out hose so you can have either hot or cold water coming from it, depending what tap you turn on. That is all I know about these fittings, hope it helped.
