Not worth a whole new answer: common causes of leaks are 1) using teflon tape on a joint that has a rubber washer, which prevents the thing from tightening sufficiently for the washer to work, Buy a new hose and follow the instructions. 2) cracks in the "nuts", which are the ends of the hose and sometimes made of plastic. Replace with a better one. 3) Missing washers. 4) Damaged washers, although in my experience shower hoses fail in other ways before their washers do, 5) Reverse threaded ball joint not tightened correctly 6) $2 hoses that leak no matter what. | |
