Product Information

Full details

This Infun Viva flexible hose is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable connection between a 3/4" BSP female thread and a 15mm compression fitting. Its key benefit is its durable stainless steel braided construction for safe, leak-free operation. A potential consideration is its fixed 300mm length, which may require careful planning for specific installations. Key features include a 10 bar working pressure, a wide temperature range, and robust stainless steel braiding.

FAQs

What is the maximum working pressure for this hose?

The maximum working pressure for this flexible hose is 10 Bar.

What is the temperature range for this hose?

The hose is designed to operate within a temperature range of -5°C to 90°C.

Can this hose be used for gas connections?

No, this hose is specifically designed for water applications and should not be used for gas.

How do I clean the hose?

Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What are the dimensions of the hose?

The hose has a length of 300mm, a bore size of 9mm, and an outer diameter of 17mm.

Is the 15mm fitting a push-fit or compression type?

The 15mm fitting is a compression type, requiring a compression nut and olive (often supplied with the fitting or pipe) to secure it to a 15mm pipe.

Can I cut this hose to a shorter length?

It is not recommended to cut this hose, as it may compromise the integrity of the braiding and connections, potentially leading to leaks. The hose is designed to be used at its specified 300mm length.

Troubleshooting

Leak at 3/4" BSP connection

Ensure the male thread is clean and free from damage. Check the seal or tape on the male thread. Try tightening the connection slightly, but do not overtighten.

Leak at 15mm compression fitting

Verify the pipe is clean, smooth, and inserted fully. Ensure the compression nut is tightened correctly and evenly. For re-assembly, a new olive may be required.

Hose appears kinked or damaged

Replace the hose immediately to prevent leaks or failure. Ensure future installations avoid sharp bends or stress points.

Low water flow

Check both ends of the hose for blockages. Ensure the bore size is adequate for the system's requirements. Verify that no other part of the plumbing system is restricted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust stainless steel braiding for enhanced durability.
  • Easy to install with standard compression and BSP fittings.
  • Suitable for a wide range of temperatures.
  • Reliable performance under typical domestic water pressures.

Cons

  • Fixed length of 300mm may not suit all applications.
  • Requires access to both BSP female and 15mm compression connections.
  • Not suitable for pressures exceeding 10 bar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off before installation.
  2. Screw the 3/4" BSP female end onto the corresponding male threaded fitting. Hand-tighten initially, then use appropriate tools for a secure fit, avoiding over-tightening.
  3. Connect the 15mm compression fitting to a 15mm pipe. Ensure the pipe end is clean and smooth. Slide the compression nut and olive (if applicable) onto the pipe, then insert the pipe into the fitting and tighten the compression nut firmly with a wrench.
  4. Once connections are secure, turn the water supply back on slowly and check for leaks at both ends.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard 3/4" BSP male threaded outlets.
  • Designed for use with 15mm diameter pipes (copper or suitable plastic). Always check pipe manufacturer guidelines for compression fitting compatibility.
  • Suitable for potable water systems.

Care:

  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
  • Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the hose is not subjected to excessive bending or kinking, which can damage the braiding.
