I have a Pahaque standalone shower and would like to extend the reach of the 179 outside shower line (60"?) to 20 feet by splicing-in that length of nylon reinforced plastic tubing. It would be nice to have the option of keeping the shower head on the 60" "stock line" while also having the 20 ft line connected. Maybe the trick is to install a Tee at the 30" point of the stock line, and then install a quick disconnect at the Tee that can accept the new 20 ft line with its own shower head. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Wow.. 20ft.. You need to shower more often.. LOL

Go to the Big Box store of your choice, They'll have all the connections you require.

Me, I use mine often, find it better than campground showers and when boon-docking a great shower. I have a 8ft line (but I shower daily..LOL).

Your reason is yours, as is mine. Just fine that length is going to find the hot coming slower.. Yet once there, all should be good.

I suspect you will be lucky to get a dribble out of that shower. Maybe not, but it seems like a lot.
