🚿 Venetian Bronze Stretchable Metal Hose by Delta Faucet, Model U495D-RB60-PK Review

Replaced another broken hose so I went with a better brand with smaller spools and better winding design. It stretches but I don't pull on it. I have high water pressure and am still learning how to adjust the handle to reduce the pressure and still shower. Seems to be working fine now. I also like that the color matches the edges and handles in the bathroom. Looks high quality and the atomizer rotates freely in any direction.

Perfect replacement for the original hose that came with my Delta. Slightly different from the original which had a plastic hose (which leaked from long flexing in the same position). The new hose is metal and appears to be more durable than the original hose. The end that attaches to the wall wasn't as decorative as the original, and the end that attaches to the atomizer is a little thinner, which makes it dangle a bit on the hanger, which is a minor downside. Ease of installation.

The hose fits perfectly, easy to install, works great and no longer leaks BUT let's be honest. This hose will not stretch 60-82 inches. It has less than 2 inches of stretch that I'm willing to pull. It requires more pressure than a shower port to get it further and I don't want to damage the pipe or head to see. I still like it because it's better made than the original hose that came with the showerhead (metal fittings rather than plastic) and didn't cost the ridiculous amount the manufacturer
