A shower hose is the flexible tube that connects your shower head to the faucet, a crucial part of any bathroom setup. With the rising popularity of shower columns and screens, a high-quality shower hose-often made of metal, braided material, or PVC-has become essential. Let’s explore how to choose the right size and install it with ease.
Shower Hose Sizes: Find the Perfect Fit
Shower hoses come in various materials, each with unique benefits. When selecting one:
Check key features: Look for a smooth surface, uniform braid gaps, a soft touch, and a sturdy connection.
Prioritize size compatibility: The hose’s outer diameter must match your shower head and faucet. Common sizes include 14mm, 16mm, 17mm, and 18mm.
Pro tip: Bring your old hose to the store for an exact size comparison.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Remove the old hose
Unscrew the hose from both the shower head and faucet by hand. Wipe the connections clean.
Attach the new hose:
Screw one end tightly onto the shower head.
Connect the other end to the faucet, ensuring a firm grip.
Test for leaks
Turn on the water and check for drips at both connections. Tighten gently if needed.
