{"title":"Blutide Shower Hoses","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBlutide Shower Hoses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix hoses, which makes this a short page and an easy one to work through. Five are 1.5m long and one is 1.25m. Four are smooth hoses, sold in brushed stainless steel, gunmetal, black and brushed brass, and the other two are flexi hoses in chrome. That is the whole page. If you have just settled on a hand shower and need the hose that feeds it, this is the shortlist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmooth and flexi are genuinely different things\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference is in the outer skin, and it shows in the product photography. A flexi hose carries an interlocking metal spiral wound along its length, the ridged, coiled look most people picture when they think of a shower hose. A smooth hose has a continuous outer sleeve instead, so the surface runs unbroken end to end with no ribs for soap and scale to sit in, and no metal coil to mark a bath or tray. The smooth construction carries all four coloured finishes, and the flexi is chrome only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLength, and one listing that reads oddly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly the 1,25m flexi hose departs from 1.5m. Length is worth a moment, because a hose that is too short drags on the outlet every time the handset is lowered, while one that is too long trails in the tray. Measure from the outlet to the lowest point you will actually hold the handset, then leave enough slack that the hose is never pulled straight. Note too that the listing titled simply Shower Hose 1.5m is the black smooth hose, its colour recorded on the product page even though the title omits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMatching the hose to the handset and the wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five hose finishes line up exactly with the five the Tubular hand shower is sold in: brushed stainless steel, gunmetal, black, brushed brass and chrome. Start at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blutide-hand-showers\"\u003ehand showers\u003c\/a\u003e, choose the handset, then carry the same finish across to the hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hose also needs something to screw onto where it leaves the wall, and the handset needs somewhere to sit. Both jobs are covered on \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blutide-outlets-and-brackets\"\u003ewall outlets and brackets\u003c\/a\u003e. If you are replacing a single hose rather than fitting a full set, check the fittings you already have, since the thread at each end decides whether it goes on.
