Maintenance Tips

• Check for Leaks Regularly: Inspect connection points every few months for moisture, drips, or corrosion.
• Avoid Over-Tightening: Hand-tighten fittings only; excessive force can damage compression threads or seals.
• Prevent Kinks: Keep the hose in a natural curve to maintain water flow and reduce stress on the braid.
• Clean Exterior Surface: Wipe stainless steel braid occasionally to remove dust and prevent buildup.
• Monitor Water Pressure: Ensure household pressure stays within normal range to avoid strain on the connector.
• Inspect Washers & Seals: Replace worn rubber washers if you notice seepage at connection points.
• Turn Off Water for Maintenance: Shut off supply before any faucet servicing to avoid accidental leaks.
• Replace if Worn or Corroded: Upgrade immediately if you see bulging, rust, or persistent dripping.
