Shower hose material selection details

1. The shower hose is the link between the handheld shower and the faucet. The general hose is composed of EPDM inner tube, high temperature resistant nylon core and 304 stainless steel outer tube, the nut is made of cast copper, and the gasket is made of * * rubber (NBR). Epdm rubber is a copolymer, ethylene, propylene and non-conjugated diolefin copolymerized rubber by solution. So some friends want to ask, why do you want to use this rubber as a shower hose?

2. First of all, aging resistance and superhot water resistance are quite good, EPDM has excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, acid and alkali resistance and other characteristics, and after soaking in 125℃ superhot water for 15 months, the mechanical properties change very little, and the volume expansion rate is only 0.3%. Because of the need for long-term hot water flow in the shower, EPDM as a hose is the best material.

3. followed by flexibility, we all know that the use of hand-held shower need to keep stretching to wash the body, and EPDM molecular chain can maintain flexibility in a wide range, can still be maintained at low levels, so this is one of the main reasons why designers choose EPDM.

In the purchase of shower, try to stretch the hose, check the elastic properties of the hose, the better the general elastic properties of the product description with the rubber material the better. Woven nylon core is generally made of plastic-coated acrylic fiber, which plays a role in protecting the inner tube. 304 stainless steel outer tube is made of stainless steel wire winding, play a role in protecting the inner tube, limiting tension and explosion-proof. Even if the products of some manufacturers are marked with stainless steel skin, in fact, it is not stainless steel, we must pay attention to this when buying, check whether the rebound after stretching can be identified.

Shower hose use points

Shower hose use temperature can not exceed 70℃, high temperature and ultraviolet light will greatly accelerate the shower aging, shorten the service life of the shower, so the installation of shower as far as possible away from the bath and other electrical heat sources. Shower can not be installed under the shower, the distance should be more than 60CM. Shower hose should be kept in a natural stretch state, do not coil it around the faucet when not in use. At the same time, pay attention to the joint between the hose and the faucet do not form a dead Angle, so as not to break or damage the shower hose.

The above is to bring you the knowledge about the details of the purchase of shower hose materials and the points of attention for the use of shower hose. I hope it will be helpful to you.
