Is the shower hose universal? What material is better?

Shower hose in the choice of not only look at the brand, but also look at the material, then the shower hose is universal? Shower hose what material is better?
1,buy hose when the important point is the specification of the shower hose size must match the shower, the general size of the outer diameter of 14 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm and 18 mm. When buying hose you can bring the old hose, compared to buy new hose, so better to do comparison.
2,shower hose has metal hose, braided pipe, PVC reinforced pipe and so on. Different materials vary greatly, of course, there is no absolute answer to which specific good. In the purchase of hose can be compared to several materials, the key surface flatness, gap uniformity, smooth feel, natural unfolding, solid structure, strong resistance to damage.
3,the shower hose should pay attention to maintenance, most of the shower hose leakage is related to improper use. Leakage is often the part that is often bent, these parts of the long term to withstand a huge force, so it is easy to break. Therefore, when using the shower, try not to bend too drastically, remember to hang it when not in use, so that the shower hose to maintain the natural state of stretching. The use of shower hose temperature can not exceed 70 ℃, high temperature and ultraviolet light will greatly accelerate the aging of the shower, shorten the service life of the shower, so the installation of the shower try to stay away from the heat source of the shower bar and other electrical appliances. Shower can not be installed in the bath directly below, the distance should be more than 60 centimeters.

What is the best material for shower hose?
1,Metal
Metal shower hose mainly refers to a kind of spiral bellows; another kind of ring bellows. Metal hose metal hose spiral corrugated pipe is corrugated in spiral rows of tubular shell, in the adjacent two corrugated between a spiral angle of rise, all the corrugated can be connected by a helix, processing and production, good elasticity, rigidity, very good.
2,Rubber
Rubber shower hose is mainly made of steel wire braided hose, which is composed of inside out, very strong practicality, and there will be no leakage problems, long service life, waterproof, corrosion resistant, is a very good material for shower hose.
3, stainless steel
Stainless steel hose mainly refers to the material made of 304 stainless steel or 301 stainless steel hose. Usage:Used as automation instrument signal wire protection stainless steel hose assembly stainless steel hose assembly hose. Used to protect the precision optical ruler, protection of sensing lines of stainless steel hose. It has good flexibility, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, water resistance. And provide a certain shielding effect.
