FAQs
What appliances is this hose compatible with?
This hose is designed to connect to household appliances with a standard 3/4" female inlet, such as most washing machines, dishwashers, and toilet cistern inlets.
What size is the male threaded end?
The male threaded end is 1/2", which is a standard size for connecting to most water supply valves or existing plumbing lines.
Do I need plumber's tape or sealant for installation?
No, the 3/4" female end has an integrated silicone seal washer for a watertight connection. The 1/2" male end typically seals directly onto the valve's rubber washer.
Is this hose suitable for hot water connections?
This hose is designed for standard household water supplies. For hot water applications, always verify the product's specifications or consult a professional plumber.
How long is the hose?
The hose is 500mm (approximately 19.7 inches) in length.
Can I cut the hose to a shorter length?
It is not recommended to cut the hose, as this will compromise the integrity of the braided construction and connections, potentially leading to leaks.
How should I clean the hose?
You can clean the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the stainless steel braiding.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the 1/2" connection.
Ensure the 1/2" male end is screwed tightly onto the valve. Check if the valve's rubber washer is present and in good condition. If the valve is damaged, it may need replacement.
Hose is leaking at the 3/4" connection.
Check that the 3/4" female end is hand-tightened securely onto the appliance inlet. Ensure the internal silicone seal is correctly seated and free from debris. If the leak persists, the seal may be damaged and the hose may need replacement.
Reduced water flow through the hose.
Check for kinks in the hose. Ensure both connection points are clear of blockages. If the issue persists, debris might be lodged inside the hose, potentially requiring replacement.
Hose appears damaged or corroded.
Immediately turn off the water supply and replace the hose. Continued use of a damaged hose can lead to leaks or bursts.
