Product Information

Full details

This Flomasta Compression Flexible Hose is designed for users needing a durable, corrosion-resistant connection for various plumbing applications. Its key benefit is the rust-resistant braid technology, which ensures sustained functionality and appearance longer than typical steel hoses. A potential caveat is its specific 0.3M length and 10mm diameter, which may not suit all installation requirements.

FAQs

What makes this hose rust-resistant?

The hose features a specialized braid technology designed to resist corrosion, helping it maintain its appearance and functionality longer than standard steel hoses.

What is the maximum water pressure this hose can handle?

Specific pressure ratings are not provided in the product description. Consult the product packaging or manufacturer for detailed specifications on maximum operating pressure.

Can this hose be used for gas lines?

No, this hose is specifically designed for water applications only.

How do I clean the exterior of the hose?

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

What is the flow rate of this hose?

The hose is rated for a flow rate of 35 Liters per minute (L/min).

Is this hose suitable for outdoor use?

While the rust-resistant technology offers protection, it's best to protect it from prolonged extreme weather conditions to ensure maximum longevity.

What type of fittings does this hose use?

This hose is designed for compression fittings with a 10mm diameter connection.

Troubleshooting

Leaking at connection points

Ensure the compression fitting is correctly installed and tightened. Check that the washer or seal within the fitting is present and undamaged. If the leak persists, the fitting may need replacement.

Reduced water flow

Check for kinks or bends in the hose that might restrict flow. Inspect both ends for any debris or blockage within the fittings.

Hose appears corroded despite claims

Ensure the hose is only exposed to water and not other chemicals or extreme environmental conditions that could compromise the braid. Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface residue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced durability due to rust-resistant braiding.
  • Maintains aesthetic appeal for longer periods.
  • Reliable performance with a specified flow rate.
  • Compact size for installations with limited space.

Cons

  • Limited length (0.3M) restricts use in longer applications.
  • Specific diameter (10mm) may not be compatible with all fittings.
  • Primarily designed for compression fittings, not universal compatibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure both ends of the hose are securely connected to the respective water supply and appliance using appropriate compression fittings. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to ensure a leak-free seal, being careful not to overtighten.

Compatibility: This hose is designed for compression fittings and is suitable for water applications. Verify that your existing fittings match the 10mm diameter and compression type. It is intended for use with water only.

Care: Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of wear, damage, or kinking. Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the area around the hose is free from excessive moisture or corrosive substances to maximize its lifespan.
