Hi All , I am installing a concealed mixer valve with a separate hand held shower head.
I am a bit surprised to see the fitment on the hand held shower head supply though . Instead of the usual screw on type ,it is a push on fit (similar to a garden hose connection ) with a grub screw from below to stop 2 sections from separating.
As I dont have any fitting instructions i am not sure if i am missing something here. Will this be able to have a water tight seal once installed or shall i look for an alternative shower head + hose and fitment ? Has anyone seen a similar type shower valve before ?
I have added this photo for reference as to which joint i am referring to .

Any info on this much appreciated

It looks like its installed already

Over time i imagine it might leak, through water pressure and general movement; is it worth investing in a spare hose now?
