FAQs
What is the length of this shower hose?
The Croydex shower hose is 1.5 meters in length.
What material is the shower hose made of?
The hose is made of chrome-plated stainless steel for durability and a premium finish.
Is this hose compatible with my existing shower?
Yes, it features a universal 1/2” B.S.P connection, making it compatible with most electric and mixer showers.
Does the hose come with fittings?
Yes, it includes two chrome-plated conical fitments for easy installation.
How do I clean the stainless steel finish?
Clean the hose with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.
Can I use this hose with a high-pressure shower system?
Yes, the reinforced construction is designed to handle standard water pressures found in most domestic systems.
What if the hose leaks after installation?
Check that the conical fitments are correctly installed and tighten connections gently. Ensure no debris is present on the threads. If the issue persists, the rubber washer may need replacement.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection point.
Ensure the conical fitment is correctly seated and tighten the connection slightly. Check for any debris on the threads. If the leak persists, try replacing the rubber washer inside the fitment.
Water flow is reduced.
Check the shower head for blockages and clean it. Ensure the hose is not kinked or twisted. The internal bore of the hose might have accumulated debris; disconnect and flush the hose.
Hose appears to be kinking easily.
Reinforced hoses are more resistant, but excessive sharp bends can still cause kinking. Ensure the hose has adequate slack and is not pulled too taut. Straighten any kinks gently.
