Excellent replacement heater hose for Automotive needs!

As a result of using this product, i found that my heater is working great again and there are no leaks. The durability of this hose is exceptional and I'm confident it will last for a long time.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • May deteriorate faster in extreme temperatures
