BUYER WARNING! When I received these, the rubber seal was not seated properly. When I went to fix it, I found that this gasket is held in place by 3 small dots of superglue. In the original, the rubber was fused to the plastic, but this is literally half glued together as the glue didn't even hold up during shipping. I put it in because I couldn't go a week without a vacuum or I would have sent it back. Based on the physics of how this hose works, this cheap POS doesn't even last a year.
