Review on Eastman 41065 5 Foot Pair of Silver Braided Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hoses with 3/4 inch FHT by Tim Blandin

While the stainless steel outer braid on these hoses is good at preventing sudden ruptures, they do nothing to protect the inner rubber from rot and rot. This means that if you allow enough time and the rubber inside rots, instead of bursting the hose will leak through the cracks and the outer stainless steel braid will not be able to hold water. . Then you come home to a flooded house and who knows how much damage money. So remember, this is not a product that you can buy once and forget. Here at Revain we have a wide range of stainless steel braided hoses. It's quite difficult to know which is better than the other. And I'm pretty sure they're all made in a foreign factory and shipped to the US. So I took a chance and went with this brand as the last time I bought hoses I physically bought this brand at the hardware store and they have held up well for the past 5 years with no problems. In any case, these hoses are suitable for the washing machine and water drainage. simply good. Brass fittings aren't very flimsy and cheap, and the tubing doesn't have too much memory if left twisted. The hoses fit well and I haven't noticed any water leakage. The 90 degree neck suited me so I could position the washer closer to the wall and avoid kinks. Everything seemed pretty solid, well made and high quality enough that I could forget about it for another 5 years or so. Speaking of which, I put a small tag on top of a small sticker that says "Replace hoses 2025" and stick it on the corner of the washing machine, kind of like oil change stations, so I have a load every time I remind myself when maintenance is due . $15 every 5 years is cheap insurance.
