Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the water supply to the shower is turned off.
- Unscrew the old shower hose from the shower arm and the hand shower unit.
- The B&Q shower hose features universal fittings. Screw one end onto the shower arm, hand-tightening first, then using a wrench for a final quarter turn to ensure a secure seal. Avoid over-tightening.
- Attach the other end to the hand shower unit, again hand-tightening and then securing with a wrench.
- Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks at both connection points.
Compatibility:
This hose is designed with universal fittings, making it compatible with most standard hand showers and shower arms. It's recommended to check the threading on your existing fittings if you have an unusually old or non-standard shower system.
Care:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the polished chrome finish and prevent water spots.
- For tougher grime, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Periodically check the connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
