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.

DURABASE WS – Corner Tape with Protection Wall Sealing Against Trowels
From $69.00DURABASE WS Corner Joint Tape (ETA Approved) is a professional waterproofing solution engineered to protect the most vulnerable transitions in wet areas. Corners and junctions are where moisture pressure and movement typically cause failures, which is why secure sealing at wall-to-floor and wall-to-wall connections is essential. This tape is designed to deliver dependable wall sealing behind tile in showers, wet rooms, bathrooms, and other moisture-exposed spaces, helping prevent leaks that can lead to mold, damaged substrates, and costly repairs.
A key advantage is its ETA approval, providing added confidence that the product is assessed for performance in demanding construction environments when installed as part of the recommended system. The tape also features a reinforced center strip that helps resist accidental damage during installation, such as trowel impacts or punctures that can compromise the waterproofing layer.
Ideal for new builds and renovations, DURABASE WS Corner Joint Tape supports a clean, system-based waterproofing method by reinforcing critical joints and maintaining continuity across transitions. The result is a more durable, watertight finish and long-term peace of mind, with premium protection exactly where wet-area assemblies need it most.
