How to replace leaking hose connected to wall?

Question

Hi,

There is a water hose that comes out of the wall and goes back into the same wall. It measures about 60 cm long, but I’m not sure what it’s used for. It has a small leak.

I asked a friend, and he suggested it might be for rainwater provision and connects to the toilet for flushing, but my house doesn’t have a rainwater tank. The house was built in 2007, and I’m the second owner, so I’m unsure of its purpose.

Can I replace it myself with the hose linked below?

any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Hi @pranav18780,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Without knowing what this hose does, or what it is connected to, I would not recommend you carry out any repairs yourself. We can't know if this hose is under pressure, or if removing it will cause leaks or backflow that can cause damage elsewhere in your home.

Unfortunately, the only thing I can suggest is that you contact a plumber for their assistance with this repair. They will be able to trace the origin of the hose, isolate it, then replace the leaking hose.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
