FAQs

Do I need special tools to install this hose?

No, the John Guest Speedfit hose features a push-fit connection that requires no special tools for installation. A screwdriver or wrench may be needed for the tap connection thread, and the hose includes offset spanner locations to aid this.

Can I use this hose with any type of pipe?

This hose is compatible with both plastic and copper pipes, but you must use the appropriate JG Speedfit inserts for each pipe type.

What is the maximum temperature and pressure this hose can handle?

The hose is suitable for hot and cold water applications up to a maximum of 6 Bar at 65 °C.

How do I disconnect the hose from the pipe?

To disconnect, push the collet (the part that grips the pipe) towards the body of the fitting and simultaneously pull the pipe to release it.

Is this hose suitable for main water lines?

This hose is designed for connecting flexible pipes to monobloc mixer taps. It is not intended for use as a main water line connection.

What does 'monobloc mixer flexi hose' mean?

It refers to a flexible hose designed to connect a single-unit mixer tap (where hot and cold controls are integrated into one body) to water supply pipes.

Is the braided outer layer for protection or aesthetics?

The braided stainless steel outer layer is primarily for protection against damage, abrasion, and kinks, ensuring the internal hose remains intact.

Troubleshooting

Hose will not push fully onto the pipe.

Ensure the pipe end is cut square, clean, and free from burrs. If using plastic pipe, confirm the correct insert is fully inserted.

Leak at the pipe connection.

Disconnect the hose by pushing the collet towards the body and pulling the pipe. Re-prepare the pipe end and ensure the fitting is pushed on fully and securely.

Leak at the tap connection.

Check the thread on the tap and the hose fitting for damage. Ensure the fitting is screwed in straight and tightened appropriately, but not excessively.

Difficulty tightening the tap connection.

Utilize the offset spanner locations for better leverage. Ensure the thread is not cross-threaded.
