Choosing a shower hose

A good shower hose provides flexibility and comfort while showering. The hose connects the hand shower to the faucet and determines how smoothly you can move. Whether you want to rinse off, clean the shower, or help children with showering, a good shower hose makes using it just that little bit easier. When choosing a shower hose, consider not only the length but also the material, finish, and flexibility.

What is a shower hose?

A shower hose is the flexible hose that connects the hand shower and the faucet. This hose provides freedom of movement while showering and allows you to use the shower head in a targeted manner. Most shower hoses are universal and, thanks to their standard 1/2-inch size, fit virtually all hand showers and faucets .

Which shower hose suits your bathroom?

There are several types of shower hoses available, each with its own advantages. The right choice depends on ease of use, style, and durability.

Length of the shower hose

The most common lengths are 150 cm, 175 cm and 200 cm.
In practice, most households opt for 175 cm, as this length offers plenty of room to move without the hose touching the floor. For tall people or a spacious walk-in shower, 200 cm may be more convenient. In smaller shower areas or with a fixed slide bar, 150 cm is more manageable and practical.

Material and durability

A shower hose can be made of plastic, stainless steel or a braided metal outer layer.
A stainless steel or metal hose generally lasts the longest and remains flexible during use. Anti-kink versions prevent the hose from twisting or kinking, extending its lifespan and making showering more comfortable.

Color and finish

Coordinate the shower hose with the rest of the bathroom for a calm whole.
Available in matte black, chrome, stainless steel and brushed gold.

Universal connection

In the Netherlands, a 1/2-inch connection is standard. This means almost all shower hoses fit standard hand showers and faucets.

Why choose a quality shower hose?

A high-quality shower hose offers daily comfort and lasts longer. Cheaper hoses can kink more easily, discolor, or feel stiff. A flexible, durable hose prevents stress on the connections and maintains a comfortable movement during use.

Replace shower hose

Replacing a shower hose is usually simple and can be done without many tools. Carefully unscrew the old hose, check that the rubber rings are properly seated in the new fittings, and then tighten the new shower hose firmly by hand. Working carefully prevents leaks and keeps the connection straight. In most cases, replacing a shower hose can be done in just a few minutes.

Use and maintenance

Clean the shower hose regularly with warm water and a mild detergent to prevent limescale and soap residue. Avoid harsh cleaning agents. Allow the hose to relax after use to prevent unnecessary tension and kinks.

Frequently asked questions about a shower hose

Can a shower hose be connected to any hand shower and tap?
Yes. In the Netherlands, a 1/2 inch connection is the standard for hand showers and faucets. This means almost any shower hose without an adapter will fit onto existing shower sets and mixers.
Which length shower hose is the most comfortable?
For most bathrooms, 150 cm is ideal. This length offers sufficient freedom of movement without the hose getting droopy or twisted. In standard shower bar setups, 150 cm feels most natural and neat.
What does an anti-kink function do on a shower hose?
An anti-kink shower hose is designed to prevent kinking or twisting during showering. This prevents stress on the fittings, keeps the water flow stable, and extends the hose's lifespan.
Can I replace a shower hose myself?
Yes. Gently unscrew the old hose, check that the rubber seals are aligned correctly in the new connectors, and tighten the new shower hose firmly by hand. Give it a quick test rinse, and the connection is ready for use.
