Hello,
I replaced my (Phoenix?) exterior shower yesterday - the handheld and hose only.
Managed to break the connector by the cold/warm handles when I tightened the hose too much (it kept leaking).
Can I get this 90degree connector somewhere or will I have to buy the whole exterior shower kit?

JB Weld is a two part glue. Hardens enough to be drilled, sanded, and painted. Very food for a lot of jobs. Works on wood, metal, most plastics. Their Link.

You are probably going to have to get a whole new unit. The polypropylene that those are made of is very difficult to repair. When you get a new one and put the hose on again make sure you have a new gasket in the joint. If you have an old one or the wrong one it will leak for sure no matter how much you tighten. Same goes for the nozzle end.

I was able to disassemble the whole unit, then cut off the angular plastic part that was broken so that only the upright stem remained.
To that I affixed the straight shower hose, also cut off, with a small hose clamp and voila... all fixed for less than a dollar in cost. :-)

Sounds like you're speaking of the connection at the hose to the trailer that broke not at the shower head.
Speaking of leaks on shower hoses did you know that handheld shower heads are designed to leak? I was trying to buy one that didn't leak because I thought mine was defective but I read it's against the law for US manufactures to make them where they don't leak due to safety concerns over the hot water which sounds like a bunch of boloney to me but evidently it's true.

The part that was broken is the stem that comes out of the handle/mixer assembly, to which one screws the normal shower head hose.
I had broken that by overtightening.
Interesting point on the showerhead.
