Its key benefit lies in its anti-kink, flexible construction ensuring smooth water flow and long-lasting performance.

What material is the shower hose made from?

The shower hose is constructed from durable stainless steel with a polished chrome finish.

Is this hose easy to install?

Will this hose kink easily?

No, the hose is designed with flexible anti-kink construction to prevent twisting and maintain smooth water flow.

What is the length of the hose?

The hose measures 2000mm (approximately 6.5 feet) in length.

Can I use this hose with any shower head?

It is designed for compatibility with most standard hand showers due to its universal fittings. It's always advisable to check your existing shower head connection if you suspect it is non-standard.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, use mild soap and water and dry thoroughly to maintain the shine.

What makes this hose corrosion-resistant?

The combination of stainless steel material and the polished chrome finish provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion from regular exposure to water and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking at the connection point.

Ensure the fittings are securely tightened. Check that the rubber washer is correctly seated inside the fitting. If the washer is damaged, replace it.

Water flow is reduced or inconsistent.

Check for kinks in the hose, especially near the connectors. Ensure the universal fittings are not cross-threaded. Clean any debris from the shower head and the hose inlet.

Chrome finish appears dull or discolored.

Clean the hose with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply to the shower is turned off.
  2. Unscrew the old shower hose from the shower arm and the hand shower unit.
  3. 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.
  4. Attach the other end to the hand shower unit, again hand-tightening and then securing with a wrench.
  5. 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.
