Product Information

Full details

This 1.5-meter Xcel Home shower hose is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and reliable replacement for their existing shower hose. Its key benefit is the leakproof, anti-kink design made from double-interlocked stainless steel with a gold coating to prevent rust, ensuring long-term performance. A potential caveat is that while it features a universal fit, users should confirm their existing shower head and valve threads are compatible with the standard 1/2" BSP nut.

FAQs

What is the length of this shower hose?

The shower hose is 1.5 meters long.

Is this hose compatible with all shower types?

It features a universal 1/2" BSP nut, which fits most standard shower heads and valves. It's always best to verify your existing fitting sizes.

Does it come with washers?

Yes, the hose includes two watertight washers to ensure a secure seal.

How do I clean the gold coating?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Will this hose kink easily?

No, the hose is designed with a double-interlocked stainless steel construction specifically to prevent kinking and tangling.

What material is the hose made of?

The hose is manufactured from high-quality, double-interlocked stainless steel with a gold-coloured coating.

Can I use this hose for high-pressure water systems?

The hose is designed for standard domestic water pressures. Extreme or unregulated high-pressure systems may require specialized hoses.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking at the connection.

Ensure a watertight washer is present and correctly seated at the leaking connection. Hand-tighten the connection further, but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads or washer.

Water flow seems restricted.

Check if the hose has kinked severely, despite its anti-kink design. Ensure the hose is not trapped or twisted in a way that impedes flow. Also, check the shower head itself for blockages.

Hose appears discolored or corroded.

While the gold coating resists rust, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning can affect it. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If corrosion is severe, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with double-interlocked stainless steel.
  • Anti-kink feature maintains water flow and hose longevity.
  • Gold coating offers rust resistance for extended aesthetic appeal.
  • Universal 1/2" BSP fit ensures broad compatibility.
  • Leakproof design with included washers for secure installation.

Cons

  • While universal, compatibility should be double-checked for older or non-standard fixtures.
  • The gold finish, while attractive, may not match all bathroom aesthetics.
  • Requires manual tightening to ensure a perfect seal, unlike some push-fit connectors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply to your shower is turned off.
  2. Unscrew the old shower hose from both the shower arm and the shower head.
  3. Place one of the included watertight washers into the end of the new hose that will connect to the shower arm.
  4. Screw the hose onto the shower arm hand-tight.
  5. Place the second watertight washer into the other end of the hose that will connect to the shower head.
  6. Screw the hose onto the shower head hand-tight.
  7. Turn on the water supply slowly and check for any leaks at both connections. Tighten slightly if necessary.

Compatibility:

This hose features a standard 1/2" BSP nut, which is compatible with the vast majority of UK and European shower heads and shower arms. However, always confirm your existing fittings are standard size before purchasing.

Care:

To maintain the hose's appearance and function:

  • Clean periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the gold coating.
  • Periodically check connections for tightness to prevent leaks.
  • Avoid excessive twisting or sharp bends beyond its anti-kink design to prolong its lifespan.
