FAQs
Are these hoses safe for drinking water?
Yes, the hoses are constructed with EPDM rubber inner tubes and are lead-free, making them suitable and safe for potable drinking water applications.
Do I need any special tools to install these hoses?
No, these hoses are designed for quick installation with convenient plastic tighteners, requiring no additional tools.
What is the maximum water temperature these hoses can handle?
While specific temperature limits are not provided, these hoses are generally suitable for standard hot and cold water systems found in domestic settings.
How long will these hoses typically last?
Constructed with high-quality stainless steel braiding and solid brass connectors, these hoses are designed for longevity and resistance to corrosion and wear under normal use.
Can I use these hoses for gas connections?

What does '1/2" x 1/2" BSP' mean?
It refers to the thread size and type. '1/2"' is the nominal bore size, and 'BSP' (British Standard Pipe) is the thread standard, indicating compatibility with standard UK plumbing fittings.
How should I clean the braided exterior?
You can clean the braided exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the stainless steel.
Troubleshooting
Hose leaks at the connection point.
Ensure the hose is screwed on straight and hand-tightened securely. Check if the rubber washer is present and properly seated inside the fitting. Gently tighten further if necessary, but avoid over-tightening.
Water flow is restricted.
Check if the hose is kinked or bent sharply. Ensure there are no blockages within the hose by disconnecting and flushing it (with water supply off).
Plastic tightener feels loose or won't grip.
Verify that the threads are properly aligned and engaged. Ensure no debris is interfering with the threads. If the plastic seems damaged, the hose may need replacement.
Hose is too short for the installation.
This model is 400mm long. If a longer connection is needed, consider alternative Weirun hoses with different lengths, such as 800mm, 1000mm, or 1500mm variants.
