It is one of the shower’s most frequently replaced parts, so it is necessary to have a good hose.
There are various kinds of metal hose, woven pipe, PVC reinforced pipe, etc. different materials have some differences.
Stainless steel braided hose is generally composed of wire, inner pipe, steel sleeve, core, gasket and nut, while corrugated hose is simple, which consists of hexagon cap, pipe body, gasket and plastic sleeve. From the composition structure, the installation of corrugated hose is simpler. The braided hose is made of 6 strands of 304 stainless steel, which has better flexibility and better explosion-proof effect. Compared with corrugated hose, the diameter is smaller and the water flow is less. Corrugated hose has no inner pipe, only one outer pipe, and the pipe body is hard. It is better to install vertically when installing. Avoid bending when using, otherwise it is easy to leak and bend. The woven hose is mostly used as the connection between the corner valve at the inlet and the basin faucet, kitchen faucet, vertical bath faucet, water heater and toilet, which is used to form water supply channel or drainage channel. Bellows can be used for the transmission of high temperature liquid and gas, such as water inlet pipe, gas pipe and water inlet pipe of tap. If it is in the area with poor water quality, corrugated hose shall be preferred for the connecting pipe of water heater, and the service life is longer.
The advantages of bellows are corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and high pressure resistance, and the diameter of the bellows is larger than that of water flow, which is suitable for heating pipes. The inner connecting pipe and gasket of the braided hose are made of EPDM high quality rubber. It is non-toxic, anti-aging, ozone resistant, corrosion resistant, cold resistant, high temperature resistant, high pressure resistant and excellent sealing. Second, the price is cheap. The knitting hose is more complex and the effect of high temperature resistance is poor. The disadvantage of corrugated hose is that the price is relatively expensive, and it is not easy to bend at the same part many times when using, otherwise it will cause the wall of bellows to break, especially after the long-term use of pressurized spray, especially easy to leak water, so it is better to put a spare pipe in the home. Second, it’s expensive.
At present, many brands are also equipped with traditional stainless steel double button pipes. The outer part is stainless steel double buckle structure, and the inner part is EPDM rubber pipe. Inferior small workshops will change the inner pipe into cheap plastic materials, and the durability will be significantly lower than that of rubber. At present, the better hose is a kind of integrated PVC hose, which is generally made of high-quality PVC in the five layer structure. Then, it is reinforced with high-strength nylon woven net and then set with explosion-proof layer, and the outer layer is coated with silver powder or color decoration. The outer side is protected by transparent layer. This kind of pipe is beautiful, durable, and dirt resistant… It is easy to clean, and the towel can be wiped. Unlike traditional double button tubes, it’s almost impossible to clean after it’s dirty. There will be universal joints on good pipes. In this way, hand-held flower sprinklers can not be twisted in any way.
