Shower Heads & Hoses

Learn more about shower heads & hoses

Shower heads and hoses affect water delivery, comfort and usability in any bathroom installation or upgrade. Choosing the right pairing helps keep performance reliable, whether you're replacing a single worn part or fitting multiple bathrooms on a build.

Fixed heads mount to the wall or ceiling, while handheld heads run off a flexible hose for easier rinsing. The two need compatible connection sizes and flow characteristics to work together properly, so check the product specifications before you order.

How to choose the right shower heads & hoses

• Match the hose length to your layout. Standard lengths range from 1.25m to 2m, with longer hoses adding reach.

• For low-pressure properties, choose a shower head and hose that suit the system and keep flow consistent.

• Pick materials that suit the job. Chrome and stainless steel offer a clean finish and durable feel, while reinforced rubber or thermoplastic hoses resist kinking.

• Check compatibility between the head and hose. Most modern designs use standard threaded connections, but always confirm the product specifications.

Before you order

• Measure your existing hose connection diameter and inlet size, or know the valve type you're fitting.

• Establish the distance from the shower valve to where the head sits to confirm the hose length you need.

• Check the property's water pressure classification, as this affects head and hose selection.

• Decide whether you need a replacement hose only, a new head only, or a complete assembly.

• Confirm the installation type, fixed wall mounted, ceiling mounted, or handheld with bracket.

• If replacing an existing setup, inspect the old connection threads and washers for damage that might affect the new fit.
