The difference between PVC shower hose and stainless steel shower hose

1. PVC hose

The main component of PVC shower hose is polyvinyl chloride, which is safe and non-toxic when used as shower hose. Pvc shower hose is light in weight, easy to use and install, and it is not easy to cause the problem of hose entanglement during use. The working temperature of PVC shower hose is generally between -5 and 80 degrees Celsius, and it has the advantages of water pressure resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and long service life.


2. Stainless steel shower hose

This kind of hose sleeve is usually made of stainless steel, and its inner tube is made of pvc, rubber and other materials. This kind of hose has good elasticity and flexibility, and it is not easy to break and other problems when we bend the hose. The stainless steel hose is light in weight and easy to install and use. This type of hose joint is generally designed with a double-layer copper sleeve, which is not easy to cause the joint to loosen and fall off. Stainless steel hose also has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, smooth inner wall, durability and long service life.


2. How to choose stainless steel shower hose

1. When we choose stainless steel shower hose, we can first look at the workmanship of the product. For example, we can check whether the gap of the hose is uniform and whether the surface of the hose is smooth. Are there any defects such as uneven coating of the hose and burrs in the hose? When purchasing, we can pull and bend the hose, and the flexibility of the good hose is not easy to break.


2. When purchasing stainless steel hoses, we should pay attention to the material of the inner tube of the hose. The inner tube is usually made of silicone, rubber, epdm, and pvc. Generally, the performance of the silicone inner tube is good, but its price is relatively expensive, and the cost performance of the epdm tube will be better. When choosing a stainless steel shower hose, we can also buy a shower set, which is not prone to size mismatches.
