FAQs

What does 'Female G3/4 x Female G3/4' mean?

This refers to the type and size of the threaded connections. 'G3/4"' indicates the thread standard and size (3/4 inch nominal size for parallel pipe threads). 'Female' means the threads are on the inside of the fitting, designed to screw onto a male (external) threaded pipe or spigot.

Is this hose suitable for hot water?

The product description specifies it is designed for water connections. While stainless steel can withstand high temperatures, it's recommended to check the specific temperature rating for this model if continuous high-temperature use is planned. For general household use with hot and cold water, it is typically suitable.

Can this hose be used for gas connections?

No, this hose is specifically designed and rated for water connections only. It is not suitable or safe for use with gas.

How do I clean the stainless steel exterior?

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

What is the weight of the product?

The product weighs approximately 1.433004703 Pounds.

How often should I inspect the hose?

It is good practice to inspect the hose at least annually, or more frequently if you notice any issues such as leaks or reduced water flow. Also, check before and after any significant plumbing work or appliance replacement.

Troubleshooting

Leak at connection point

Ensure the G3/4" threads are properly aligned and tightened. Check for any debris on the threads. Re-seat the connection and tighten slightly. If the leak persists, consider using a compatible thread seal tape (PTFE tape) on the male threads of the inlet valve, or inspect the internal seals of the hose connection.

Reduced water flow

Check if the hose is kinked or sharply bent. Ensure the 15mm bore is not obstructed. If connected to an appliance, check the appliance's internal filters for blockages.

Hose is too short/long

This hose is 80cm. For installations requiring different lengths, ensure you select the appropriate product size prior to purchase. Adapters are not recommended as they can introduce additional points of failure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel build for longevity.
  • Flexible design simplifies installation.
  • Reduces vibration transfer for quieter operation.
  • Generous 15mm bore ensures good water flow.
  • Standard G3/4" fittings offer wide compatibility.

Cons

  • Requires verification of thread compatibility for specific appliances.
  • Length may be too long for very compact installations.
  • Stainless steel, while durable, can be scratched.
  • Weight might be a consideration for very delicate mounting points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the main water supply is turned off before installation.
  2. Verify that the existing fittings on your appliance and the water source are compatible with G3/4" female threads.
  3. Hand-tighten the connector onto both the water source (e.g., wall valve) and the appliance inlet. For a secure seal, a quarter-turn with appropriate pliers may be necessary, but avoid over-tightening which can damage the threads or seals.
  4. Turn the water supply back on slowly and check both connection points for any leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Thread Size: Compatible with standard G3/4" female threaded connections. It is crucial to confirm your appliance and water outlet use this specific thread size before purchase.
  • Water Type: Suitable for standard potable water applications.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the stainless steel finish.
  • Ensure the hose is not kinked or sharply bent, as this can restrict water flow and potentially damage the hose over time.
