Was does conical mean? "Conical" is a fitting at one end of a hose and must be used on brackets that hold a "conical" hose nut, not the handshower handle so the conical piece is what sits inside the bracket and holds the handshower in place when not in use. A conical fitting is cone shaped (see pictures above for visual reference) A conical end hose can also be used in place of a standard nut hose (a.k.a., a non conical hose) but a standard nut hose should not be used in place of a conical nut hose (since it can't fit into a bracket that is made to hold a conical hose). All of our hoses have brass metal ends, not plastic ends.
