FAQs

What is the inner material of the hose?

The inner tube is made of odorless EPDM material, which is safe and does not impart any unpleasant smell or taste to the water.

How long is this shower hose?

This specific model is 2.50 meters (approximately 8.2 feet) in length.

Will this hose fit my existing shower head and valve?

Yes, it features universal standard fittings designed to be compatible with most standard showerheads and shower valves.

Can I use this hose for outdoor showers or in RVs?

While designed for standard bathrooms, its durable construction may allow for use in other settings, but compatibility with specific RV or outdoor plumbing systems should be confirmed.

Is the stainless steel exterior prone to rust?

The high-quality stainless steel construction is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, but prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or salt water could potentially affect its finish over time.

How do I clean the hose?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the benefit of the anti-kink design?

The anti-kink design prevents the hose from twisting and tangling, ensuring unrestricted water flow and making it easier to maneuver the showerhead during use.

Troubleshooting

Hose leaks at the connection points.

Ensure the rubber washers are properly seated in both connectors. Gently tighten the connections further, but avoid overtightening, which can damage the fittings or washers.

Water flow is restricted or weak.

Check that the hose is not kinked or sharply bent. Ensure the showerhead is not clogged. Verify that the connections are fully open and not obstructed.

Hose feels stiff or difficult to move.

This can sometimes happen with new hoses. Use the hose as intended; repeated flexing during use should improve its flexibility. Ensure it's not being pulled taut.

The chrome finish appears dull or discolored.

Clean the hose with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the discoloration is not due to mineral deposits from hard water, which may require a specific cleaner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable stainless steel exterior resists damage and corrosion.
  • Anti-kink design ensures smooth water flow and ease of movement.
  • Universal fitting simplifies installation and broadens compatibility.
  • Extra length provides greater flexibility, especially beneficial for seated showers or bathing children/pets.
  • Odorless inner material guarantees a safe and pleasant user experience.

Cons

  • The 2.50-meter length may be excessive for very small shower stalls.
  • Requires confirmation of connection size if using with non-standard showerhead or valve fittings.
  • While durable, extreme bending or pressure could potentially compromise the hose over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply to your shower is turned off.
  2. Unscrew the old shower hose from both the showerhead and the shower valve.
  3. Verify that the rubber washers are present in the new hose connectors.
  4. Screw the new KAV shower hose onto the showerhead by hand, ensuring a snug fit.
  5. Screw the other end of the hose onto the shower valve by hand.
  6. Tighten both connections gently with a wrench (do not overtighten).
  7. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Compatibility:

The KAV shower hose features a universal standard fitting, designed to be compatible with the vast majority of standard showerheads and shower valves found in most homes. The connectors are typically 1/2" IPS, a common size for shower fixtures.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the hose regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the chrome finish.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or potential leaks.
  • Ensure the hose is not excessively kinked or stressed by sharp bends when not in use.
