Nylon flexible hose for extractable shower MONOLITH 00403000091

An extractable shower hose lets the operator direct water precisely where it is needed, whether rinsing a large pot, filling a container on the worktop or cleaning the sink without splashing the surrounding cupboards. The hose uncoils from the mixer body when pulled and returns automatically once released, keeping the kitchen tidy and the tap area clear for the next task.

The flexible nylon tube carries water from the fixed mixer to the movable shower head. Nylon is chosen for its ability to bend repeatedly without cracking, its resistance to the hot and cold cycles of a professional kitchen, and its low friction against the tap body and any guide rings. The included counterweight hangs below the mixer, using gravity to pull the hose back into its housing; as the operator releases the shower head, the weight descends and the hose retracts smoothly without tangling or snagging.

To install, the operator threads the F 1/2" female end onto the mixer spout and the MGIR M15×1 male end onto the shower head. Both connections are standardised for British commercial mixer systems, so no additional adapters are required. Once fitted, the hose can be pulled down to the required length and will stay in position until released, when the counterweight returns it to the mixer body.

The 1.2 m length gives enough reach to fill containers placed on the worktop or in the sink, while keeping the hose short enough to retract cleanly without coiling on the floor. The nylon construction resists kinking and abrasion, so the hose remains flexible and easy to handle even after repeated use. Cleaning is limited to wiping the outer surface with a damp cloth to remove any grease or detergent residue; the smooth nylon surface does not trap dirt and does not require disassembly for routine upkeep.

This hose is a direct replacement for Monolith extractable shower mixers and is compatible with other brands that use the same F 1/2" and MGIR M15×1 connection standards. It is listed in the catalogue under mixer spares and accessories.
