An incredible amount of water passes through the shower hose daily. It is because of this that sooner or later there is a need to change it, since various kinds of defects and damages appear on it.
In this article we will help to deal with many issues that relate to the choice of a flexible hose for a shower head.
First of all, you should know what elements the aforementioned product consists of:
- Inner tube
Often it is created using plastic as well as rubber. The first option is cheap enough so you don’t have to pay too much money. But keep in mind that such a mechanism can quickly become unusable.
The inner tube made of rubber is very popular among consumers, but, as you know, the price of such a product will be slightly higher than the price of the previous material. To check a particular material in your hose, just look inside. Plastic is most often white or transparent, and when you try to stretch the hose, the shape will remain the same. Rubber will stretch.
- Since a regular hose without a winding is quite rare, the tube cover should also be mentioned.
The most commonly used metal winding is stainless steel. Such a product helps protect the inside of the tube, and also adds flexibility to it. But it is worth mentioning the negative qualities, namely: the shelf life of such material is about 6 years.
Plastic coating is also in demand among consumers. It is more flexible than the previous version, heat-resistant, and cleaning will be much easier. It is worth noting the fact that the assortment contains windings of various colors. The downside is that such a coating can crack. To avoid unpleasant incidents, do not tighten the hose tightly.
- Elements that help secure the hose.
Despite all the above-mentioned spare parts, one of the main ones is special nuts, which are attached to both the mixer and the watering can. It is very important to pay attention to such seemingly trifles. After all, the thicker the nuts - the better for the whole mechanism, since its durability will increase. In order to connect the mixer to the hose there is a flat nut, but to connect the watering can itself you need a cone-shaped nut.
The metric system, which helps to determine the size of the thread, is gradually losing its popularity. It was replaced by a European inch. Most often, the thread size at both ends of the hose is 0.5 inches. Less often - 0.375.
