Leak Elimination Kit for Pull Out Hand Showers (5′ Hose with Barrel Connector)
$35.00Rated 5 out of 5The Hand Shower Hose Extension Kit gives you the ability to add an extension to your hand shower in order to attach the hand held shower to the wall. Without the extension hose and barrel protection, water will leak from the hose of the hand shower if it is attached to the wall. This may result in costly damages. With the extension hose, bathers can shower while in a sitting position or standing.
Note: If you’re planning to install a hand shower slider bar on the wall, this is a must-buy and must-install accessory to prevent leaks through the pull-out hand shower insertion hole.
