What is the thread size for the Fixfit E?

Can I use this with any shower hose?
Yes, it is designed to work with standard shower hoses that feature a G ½ connection.
Does this unit control water flow or switch between showerheads?

How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the shine.
Is installation difficult?
Installation is generally straightforward for those familiar with basic plumbing. It involves screwing the unit into the existing G ½ wall pipe. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult a professional plumber.
What materials is the Fixfit E made from?
It is made from premium materials, designed for durability and safety, with a chrome finish for a lasting shine.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the connection point
Ensure the shower hose is securely tightened to the Fixfit E. Check if plumber's tape was used correctly on the threads and reapply if necessary. Verify the connection to the wall pipe is snug.
Low water pressure from the showerhead
This is typically an issue with the showerhead or hose, not the wall outlet. Check the showerhead for limescale buildup and clean it. Ensure the shower hose is not kinked. Verify the water supply is fully open.
Difficulty screwing the outlet into the wall pipe
Ensure you are using the correct G ½ thread size. Clean any debris from the wall pipe threads. Do not force the connection; if resistance is significant, check for cross-threading.
