These hoses, constructed with a stainless steel exterior braided over a flexible inner core, connect the washing machine to the household water supply. This design provides a durable and reliable conduit for water flow.
The robust construction offers significant advantages over traditional rubber hoses. Superior burst resistance mitigates the risk of leaks and potential water damage, contributing to enhanced home safety and appliance longevity. This improved durability also reduces the need for frequent replacements, offering a cost-effective solution in the long run. While rubber hoses were previously the standard, the inherent vulnerabilities of this material led to the development of more robust alternatives. The braided metal design provides significantly greater protection against wear and tear, kinks, and punctures.
