I know the plastic lines with the blue connector in the foreground go to the sprayer, but this was a new one for me.
Let me back up. I'm looking for either an under sink or whole house carbon filter for the water. I knew something looked strange about the sinks plumbing, but decided to leave it alone of it worked.
Today, I decided to see what was strange about it, and how hard installing a filet would be. And that's when I found plastic lines from the 3/8 shutoff valve going directly into the faucet.
It's this delta, with a sprayer. I don't know the model, kinda hoping someone can tell me.
But it doesn't come off. I haven't tried prying under it, but nothing twists or pulls off.
I guess aside from "what the hell is that and how am I supposed to maintain it in the future?" My question is should I bother with an under sink with this setup at all or just get a whole house one mounted on the wall at the meter?
Looks like hot water, cold water, and a sprayer loop.
But you haven't showed the end of any of them.
If I'm reading it right, the faucet is held in place by the big C clip on the underside. (Plus a lot of caulk)
Paul nailed it. The photos are berked and stretched, but that tube that all those lines are going into should be threaded on the outside with a large nut and a c-shaped washer. That's what holds it in. Almost every time it's a pita to get a wrench on it.

Oh. Yea I guess that rusty bit does look like A C clip.
Photos are thanks to the weird upload setup.
I need to look again then. I want regular supply lines, not integrated plastic stuff. Guess I'll look for faucets to, if they still make them with proper attachments.
In reply to RevRico :
There's all flavors out there. Lots of the hardware store stuff is plastic, but there are plenty that still use copper/brass and regular braided supply lines.
