Shower head screw thread?

Feb 17, 2018 1 Replies

What is the screw thread used in shower hoses, for, having got my knickers in a twist and over-ordered, it would be useful to string together the 21 feet (total! :-) ) to make a garden hose?


Get some compression joiners for 15mm pipe.

Remove the nuts and olives.

You should find the shower fitting screws on.

You may need to seal somehow, perhaps pop in a lathe and turn a 'flat' (there is a recess for the olive). Then fit the normal washer used with shower hoses.

I used the technique to make a fitting once, worked for years no problem. Could still be working.
