Full details
The Angle Simple Shower Hose (L7150) is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and reliable shower hose. Its primary benefit is the robust construction, combining a stainless steel outer tube with a non-toxic inner pipe, ensuring longevity and safety. A potential consideration is its 150cm (59") length, which may be standard for many but could be too short for some unique shower setups. Key features include a high-pressure resistant EPDM inner pipe, a solid brass connector with a 1/2" IPS fitting, and an attractive oil-rubbed bronze finish.

FAQs
What is the material of the inner pipe?
The inner pipe is made of EPDM material, which is known for being non-toxic, odorless, and resistant to high pressure.
What size is the connector fitting?
The hose features a solid brass connector with a standard 1/2" IPS fitting.
How long is the shower hose?
The shower hose is 150cm (59 inches) in length.
Is this hose compatible with all shower heads?
Yes, its 1/2" IPS fitting ensures compatibility with most standard shower heads and shower arms.
How do I clean the oil-rubbed bronze finish?
Wipe the hose with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning chemicals that could damage the finish.
Can this hose handle high water pressure?
Yes, the inner pipe is designed to be high-pressure resistant.
What should I do if the hose kinks easily?
While stainless steel is generally durable, avoid sharp bends. Ensure the hose has enough slack and isn't being pulled taut during use. If kinking is a persistent issue, check for any internal obstructions or defects.
Troubleshooting
Hose leaks at the connection point.
Ensure the connection is securely hand-tightened. Check that the rubber washer is present and properly seated inside the connector. If leaking persists, try a gentle additional turn with a wrench, or inspect the threads on both the hose and the shower arm/head for damage.
Water flow seems restricted.
Check both ends of the hose for any kinks. Ensure the shower head itself is not clogged. If the hose is new, confirm no protective tape or debris is blocking the internal flow.
The hose material feels stiff.
New hoses can sometimes be slightly stiff. Allow it to hang loosely for a day or two; the flexibility should improve with use. Ensure it is not exposed to extreme temperatures, which can affect material properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Angle Simple Shower Hose (L7150) is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the shower arm or handheld shower head connection is clean and free of debris. Screw the 1/2" IPS solid brass connector onto the corresponding fitting of your shower valve or wall outlet. Then, connect the other end to your chosen shower head. Hand-tighten connections first, and then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn if necessary, being careful not to overtighten, which could damage the fittings.
Compatibility: The hose features a standard 1/2" IPS (Iron Pipe Size) fitting, making it compatible with the vast majority of standard shower heads and shower arms sold in the market.
Care: To maintain the oil-rubbed bronze finish, wipe the hose clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the finish. Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
