Plumb2U carries the parts and spares for both instantaneous and storage electric water heaters, from elements and thermostats to the fittings that connect them into a system, at trade prices with next-day despatch across the UK. For merchants and installers working from a plumbers merchants account rather than a shop counter, that means the right spare is one order away, not a special one.
Braided and rubber flexible hoses do the same basic job, connecting a fixed pipe run to an appliance or outlet with some give in the joint, but they are built very differently underneath, and that difference shows up in how long each type lasts on a job.

Choosing between an electric shower and a mixer shower is not really a matter of preference; it comes down to what the property's existing hot water system can actually deliver, and the two options make very different demands on it.
Pressure rating is where corners genuinely should not be cut. Every flexible hose has a working pressure it is designed and tested to, and mains-fed systems, unvented cylinders in particular, run at higher sustained pressure than an old gravity-fed tank system ever did. A hose rated for low-pressure use has no business being fitted on a mains-pressure job, regardless of whether the thread happens to match.
