Какие бывают размеры шлангов для смесителя
Mixer hoses vary in length from 30 cm to 5 meters. There are special mounting elements with a sealant — usually rubber rings — on the ends of the hoses.
Sizes of Hoses
The most common hose diameters are 1/2« (12 mm), 5/8» (16 mm), 3/4« (19 mm), and 1» (25 mm). The universal diameter for garden irrigation hoses is 5/8« (16mm) and 3/4» (19mm).
Types of Mixer Hoses
There are three types of hoses for mixer taps:
- The most common type is a reinforced rubber hose with a metal braid.
- A new product that appeared recently is a polyethylene hose with pressed connectors.
- An innovative development that is still not widely available on the market is a bellows-type hose.
How to Determine the Hose Size
To measure the diameter of the hose, you need to measure the inner part of the hose without taking the walls into account. You do not need any special tools to measure it — use a ruler or a caliper.
Tips for Choosing the Right Hose
- Consider the length of the hose you need carefully. Longer hoses are more convenient if you want to reach further from the faucet. However, keep in mind that longer hoses can have reduced water pressure.
- Choose the correct diameter hose for the water flow you need. Wider hoses have better water flow, but they can weigh more than narrower ones.
- Choose a hose with a durable and tight seal to prevent leaks.
In conclusion, mixer hoses come in different lengths and diameters, with the universal size being 5/8« (16 mm) and 3/4» (19 mm). To determine the size, you only need a ruler or a caliper. Consider the length and diameter of the hose before purchasing one. Always choose a hose with a durable and tight seal to prevent leaks.
