This FixTheBog Viva flexible hose is designed for plumbing professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable connection for water supply lines. Its key benefit is the 900mm length and robust construction, ensuring flexibility and durability in tight spaces. A potential caveat is ensuring correct BSP thread compatibility for secure installation. This hose features a 1/2" BSP Female connection on one end and a 15mm isolator compression fitting on the other, with a 9mm bore and 13mm hose diameter, suitable for water systems up to 10 Bar pressure and 90°C.

The FixTheBog Viva flexible hose has a maximum working pressure of 10 Bar.
No, this hose is designed exclusively for water supply lines and should not be used for gas.
The 15mm compression fitting is designed to work with standard 15mm copper or plastic pipes typically used in plumbing.
Tighten the compression nut firmly by hand, then use a wrench to tighten it an additional 3/4 to one full turn. Over-tightening can damage the pipe or fitting, while under-tightening can cause leaks.
The hose is suitable for a working temperature range of -5 to 90 degrees Celsius.
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe, a common thread standard used in plumbing.
Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. While the BSP end is a simple screw-on, the compression fitting requires careful tightening to ensure a leak-free seal. If you are unsure, consult a professional plumber.
The product code for this item is FTB5212.
Ensure the male threaded fitting is clean and free from debris. Check that the BSP female end is properly seated and tightened. If the thread is damaged, the fitting may need replacement.
Loosen the compression nut, re-seat the olive on the pipe and within the fitting, and retighten. Ensure the 15mm pipe is cut square and free from burrs. The pipe may need to be replaced if damaged.
Check for kinks in the hose. Ensure the bore is not obstructed by debris. Verify that the connected isolation valve is fully open. The 9mm bore may be a limiting factor in very high-flow applications.
Inspect the hose for any signs of cracking, swelling, or abrasion. If damage is evident, replace the hose immediately to prevent leaks or failure.
