Product Information
Full details
This 1.5m chrome shower hose is for homeowners looking to replace a worn-out shower hose or upgrade their existing one for a sleek, modern look. Its key benefit is providing a reliable, easy-to-install solution with a durable chrome finish. A potential caveat is that it features standard 1/2" connections, which are widely compatible but may not fit some very specific or older shower valve fittings. The Aqualisa 164516 is a genuine Aqualisa replacement part, offering a 1.5-meter length, a polished chrome finish, and standard 1/2" connections for broad compatibility. It is WRAS approved, ensuring quality and performance, and designed for straightforward installation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this hose compatible with non-Aqualisa shower valves?
Yes, the hose features standard 1/2" connections, which are compatible with most shower heads and shower valves from other manufacturers. However, always check your existing valve fitting for compatibility.
How do I know if this hose is the right length for my shower?
The 1.5m length is a common and versatile size. Consider your shower space and how you typically use your shower. If you need more or less reach, other lengths may be available.
Does this hose come with a shower head?
No, this product is for the shower hose only. A separate shower head is required.
What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been tested and meets the stringent standards set by UK water regulations, ensuring it is safe and suitable for use with drinking water supplies.
Can I use this hose with a high-pressure system?
Yes, the hose is designed for reliable performance and is compatible with various Aqualisa systems, including those that may operate at higher pressures. Ensure it is correctly installed.
How often should I replace my shower hose?
Shower hoses typically do not have a fixed replacement schedule. It's advisable to replace the hose if you notice any signs of wear, such as leaks, cracking, stiffness, or if the internal lining starts to degrade, compromising water flow or hygiene.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection points.
Ensure the hose is screwed in securely at both the shower head and the valve. Check that the rubber washers are present and correctly seated inside both ends of the hose. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter turn, but do not overtighten.
Water flow is reduced.
Check if the shower head is clogged with limescale. If so, remove and clean the shower head according to its manufacturer's instructions. Also, check both ends of the hose for any debris that might be obstructing the flow.
Hose appears to be kinking easily.
Ensure the hose is not twisted during installation. The 1.5m length provides flexibility, but extreme angles or sharp bends can still occur. Rearrange the hose to allow for a natural, relaxed curve.
