FAQs

What is the internal diameter of the hose?

The hose has an 8mm internal bore.

Will this hose fit my specific shower head?

This hose has a standard G1/2 inch (13mm) connection, which is compatible with most British shower heads. It is recommended to check your existing shower head's connection size if you are unsure.

Can I use this hose with a high-pressure shower system?

The hose is designed for standard domestic water pressure. While it can withstand typical pressures, extremely high-pressure systems might require specialized hoses.

How do I clean the shower hose?

Clean the hose with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, followed by rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the material of the hose?

The hose is crafted from a robust five-layer flexible silver PVC material.

Is this hose resistant to kinking?

The hose is designed to be flexible and tangle-free, which helps minimize kinking during normal use.

Troubleshooting

Hose leaks at the connection point

Ensure the conical connector is properly seated and hand-tighten further. If leaking persists, check the washer inside the connector and ensure it is present and undamaged. Avoid overtightening with tools.

Water flow seems restricted

Check the hose for any kinks or internal blockages. Ensure the G1/2 inch connections are not obstructed. If the issue persists, the shower head itself might be the source of restriction.

Hose feels stiff or not as flexible

Ensure the hose is not kinked. For initial stiffness, running warm water through it for a few minutes can help soften the PVC. Avoid exposing the hose to extreme heat sources.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy installation due to standard fitting.
  • Durable construction resistant to corrosion.
  • Flexible design for comfortable use.
  • Tangle-free operation enhances user experience.
  • Generous 1.5m length offers good reach.

Cons

  • PVC material may be less durable in extreme heat compared to metal.
  • Silver finish can potentially scratch over time.
  • Internal bore size (8mm) might be restrictive for very high-flow shower heads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the shower valve outlet and the shower head inlet are clean and free of debris.
  2. Unscrew the old shower hose from both ends.
  3. Using a wrench (gently to avoid overtightening), attach one end of the new 1.5m shower hose to the shower valve outlet. The conical connector should fit snugly.
  4. Attach the other end of the hose to the shower head inlet.
  5. Turn on the water supply slowly and check for any leaks at both connection points. Tighten slightly if necessary.

Compatibility:

This hose features a standard G1/2 inch (13mm) connection, making it compatible with the vast majority of British shower heads and shower valves. It is designed for standard domestic water pressure.

Care:

  • Clean the hose regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the PVC material.
  • Periodically check the connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
  • Do not bend the hose sharply at the connectors, as this can cause stress and potential damage over time.
