K&J Premium 4ft Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hoses Burst Proof 2 Pack - Hot and Cold Water Supply Hoses for Washing Machines

Very durable, easy install. Looks like they will stand the test of time. 4 foot was the perfect length.

great value, well made

I looked over many hoses to replace my old rubber hoses. Other than all rubber, thick Floodchek brand hoses, which are very expensive, and backordered for an indefinate time, these seemed decent. I wanted rubber core vs pvc core for flexibility and vibration resistance. The fittings are rustproof and well-crimped and the stainless braid may prevent rubber hose blowouts. The connector washers are thick and supple, which I coated with silicone grease. Although these hoses are not rated for 1500-2000 psi, as some pvc core stainless braided models are, I reasoned that vibration resistance (i.e. crack resistance) is more important than the super high psi burst rating. The OD of these is about 0.6" whch could be thicker, since my old rubber hoses without stainless are 0.7", so we will see if they last the test of time. I also put 8" lengths of slit rubber 5/8" ID auto heater hose about 12" from each end of hose, which are fastened to the washing machine and the wall with a pipe clamp and screw, and wrapped vinyl tape around the hose end fittings to lessen the movement stress at the crimped connectors (the weakest point of all hoses). This eliminates flexing stress at the connector crimps, and disperses stresses over the remaining length of the free-hanging hose. To reduce machine movement during heavy load spinning, I strapped 12 one gallon bottles of water to the top of the machine. There is very little overall hose movement now on my front loading machine, which tend to move around more. We will see how they hold up long-term, with my extra-paranoid strain relief modifications.

Great premium washing machine hoses. I bought them not for my washing machines but to clean my tank-less water heater. I need to flush it at least every year. I like that it has blue and red colors so I don't get confused and I know which one is which. I have used them many times and I had zero issues.

I was, and still am, in the middle of troubleshooting & repair of my washing machine. I've not had a chance to connect the hoses to supply the washer and leak test them. What I did do was replace the rubber washers that came with the hoses with silicone washers that don't deteriorate over long periods of time at the supply side, and with washers that had inline screen filters to catch any debris that is from pipeline oxidation or that got past my sand filters from my well.

These look like quality hoses. Hooked up fine.

The quality is almost unmatched. I like to thank the manufacturer for this product. Although I didn't use it for high pressure or heavy tasks but I used it for a long time and it doesn't seem to be even used.

These K&J washing machine hoses are a solid upgrade. They feel much more sturdy than the cheap ones that came with my washer, and I love the stainless steel braided look. Peace of mind knowing they're burst-proof is a big plus, especially since I've had leaks in the past. Definitely recommend these for anyone looking to replace their old hoses.
