Step 5HOSE
SHOWER HEAD
Make shower head by melting one end of the polyethylene tube and pinching it shut with pliers. I chose this tube because it is more rigid than the vinyl. It also melts into itself when heated, unlike vinyl, creating a more permanent seal at the end of the "hose".
Holding the tube, with pliers at the pinched end, drill several 1/16" holes through the tube in the 2 inches nearest the pinched end.
O-RINGS
Cut the 1" piece of 7/16" OD vinyl tubing into four rings.
HOSE ASSEMBLY
Onto the un-melted end of the shower head, slip two o-rings onto tube. Then slip tube through the hole in the lid and "lock" into place with the other two o-rings as shown.
Slip one end of the coupler over the exposed end of the shower head as shown.
Slip one end of the 3/8" OD vinyl tubing into the open end of the coupler as shown.
