[C320-list] shower hose attachement

[Warren Updike]

On our #62, the hose attachment is reached by removing the dawer unit in the 
aft cabin.  It has a screw-on coupling under the faucet set.  I can't relate 
it to any standard plumbing connection though it might well be a common 
thread size and pitch.

When we took delivery 3 years ago, there was a leak at the connection.  I'm 
going on an ageing memory now... When I removed the hose conection from the 
faucet attachment I remember that the connection was pushed on to the hose 
somehow.  I merely re-set the hose on the fitting, made sure the washer was 
in-place, and reattached it.  No problems since.  I think if you take a look 
at it, it will be obvious.

I also took the spray handle off the hose removed the obvious parts and 
soaked it in a vinegar solution for a couple of hours.  The mineral deposits 
soften and are easily brushed/wiped off.  It has functioned well for the 
past 3 years.
