FAQs
What is the length of this shower hose?
The shower hose is 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) in length.
What material is the shower hose made of?
The core material is stainless steel, with a double interlock design, and a chrome-plated exterior.
Will this hose fit my existing shower head and valve?
Yes, it features a standard 1/2" BSP cone to nut connection, making it compatible with most shower heads and valves from major brands like Grohe, Triton, Mira, and Bristan.
Is this hose suitable for high-pressure water systems?
The hose is suitable for all shower types, including those with standard high-pressure systems. However, always ensure your system's pressure is within safe operating limits.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Wipe the hose with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Does the hose come with connectors?
Yes, pipe thread connectors are included with the shower hose to aid in installation.
What is the bore size of the hose?
The bore size is 7mm, which is standard for providing adequate water flow.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection point.
Ensure the connection is securely hand-tightened. Check that any rubber washers or seals are present and correctly seated. If a leak persists, slightly tighten with pliers, but do not overtighten, or check if the connector threads are damaged.
Reduced water flow from the shower head.
Check the hose for any kinks or sharp bends that might restrict flow. Ensure the shower head itself is not blocked. Remove the hose and check the 7mm bore for any debris or blockages.
Hose appears to be weakening or bulging.
Inspect the hose for any signs of damage, such as cuts, cracks, or bulges. If damage is present, the hose should be replaced immediately to prevent failure.
Hose makes a noise during water flow.
A slight whistling or humming noise can sometimes occur due to water pressure and flow dynamics. Ensure connections are secure. If the noise is excessive or accompanied by vibration, check for internal debris or consider if water pressure is unusually high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the water supply to your shower is turned off.
- Unscrew the old shower hose from the shower head and the shower valve outlet.
- Use the included pipe thread connectors if necessary.
- Screw the new 1.5m chrome hose onto the shower head fitting (usually hand-tighten, then a quarter turn with pliers if needed, avoiding overtightening).
- Screw the other end of the hose onto the shower valve outlet (again, hand-tighten and check for secure fit).
- Turn on the water supply slowly and check for any leaks at both connection points.
Compatibility:
This hose is compatible with all top branded shower manufacturers, including Grohe, Triton, Mira, and Bristan, due to its standard 1/2" BSP cone to nut connection. It is suitable for use with all shower types (electric, mixer, power showers).
Care:
To maintain the hose's appearance and hygiene:
- Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth regularly.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the chrome finish.
- Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or potential leaks.
