Flexible eyeliner: How a small detail saves you from big problems

Flexible liner is often perceived as a secondary element of the plumbing system. However, it is precisely because of its poor quality or improper selection that emergency leaks often occur, leading to costly repairs.

To ensure stable operation of the system for years, you should pay attention to 5 key aspects when choosing an eyeliner.

5 golden rules for choosing a flexible eyeliner

1. Optimal hose length

The liner should not be stretched - this puts excessive stress on the fittings and accelerates wear. At the same time, a hose that is too long creates unnecessary loops and slack, which can lead to kinks. Choose a length that allows the hose to curve naturally.

2. Diameter and type of connection

Before buying, determine the exact connection parameters. The most common diameters are 1/2" and 3/8”. It is also important to choose the right thread type:

• Nut and nut (internal-internal);

• Nipple nut (internal-external).

3. Materials are the foundation of reliability

A high-quality eyeliner, such as the FADO FLEX, is based on three components:

• Inner tube made of EPDM: special ethylene-propylene rubber that is safe for drinking water and resistant to high temperatures.

• Stainless steel braid: protects the tube from mechanical damage and pressure surges.

• Brass fittings: ensure a strong connection and corrosion resistance.

4. Operating parameters

Always choose an eyeliner with a «margin of safety». This is critical for connection:

• Boilers and boilers;

• Mixers with thermostats;

• Systems with unstable network pressure.

5. Reputation of the manufacturer

By choosing a reliable manufacturer, you invest in your own peace of mind. High-quality engineering plumbing means no emergency calls to the master and confidence that the system will withstand daily loads.
