Expanding its technical accessories range, Deva by Methven has introduced the new Category 5 Hose Retainer. The solution is engineered to support compliance, durability and long‑term asset performance across residential and commercial specifications.

Designed to meet UK requirements for backflow and back siphonage protection, the Category 5 retainer provides a secure, non‑removable connection that maintains the required air gap between shower head and any category 5 fluids by restricting movement.

Once installed, the retainer must be destroyed to be removed, offering a robust safeguard against tampering or misuse in high‑occupancy or multi‑user environments.

Available in chrome and matte black, the retainer is compatible with a wide range of hoses and aligns with the design and performance principles of the Methven Avoca range created to deliver solutions for the housing sector.

The Category 5 retainer joins Deva’s broader portfolio of specification‑ready accessories, including thermostatic blending valves, fixing plates and wall plates.
