What is the maximum temperature this hose can handle?

The hose has a heat resistance of up to 75°C (167°F).

Is this hose resistant to kinking?

The metal construction and design of the Vitalioflex Long-Life hose are intended to resist kinking and twisting for a more durable and pleasant user experience.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking at the connection point.

Ensure the connection is hand-tight and has a proper seal. If the leak persists, check if the rubber washer is correctly seated or if the threads are damaged. Gently tighten further or replace the washer if necessary.

Water flow is reduced.

Check both ends of the hose for any internal blockages. Detach the hose and rinse it thoroughly. Also, check the shower head and outlet for debris.

Hose appears kinked or twisted.

While designed to resist kinking, persistent kinking may indicate internal damage. Try to straighten the hose gently. If kinking is severe or frequent, consider replacing the hose.

The Velvet finish is scratched or discolored.

Avoid using harsh cleaning agents. For minor scratches, gentle polishing with a soft cloth may help. For discoloration, a mild soap and water solution is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your existing shower head and wall outlet have standard G 1/2'' connections.
  2. Unscrew the old shower hose from both the shower head and the wall outlet.
  3. Screw the new GROHE Vitalioflex hose onto the shower head connection until hand-tight.
  4. Screw the other end of the hose onto the wall outlet connection until hand-tight.
  5. Gently tighten each connection an additional quarter to half turn with pliers if necessary, being careful not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or seals.
  6. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks at both connections.

Care:
