Additional Comments
- Stainless steel braided hoses marketed online and in the big
box stores as superior alternative to rubber hoses and rigid
metal pipes. These hoses consist of a flexible rubber inner
tubing surrounded with a stainless steel metal braided sleeve.
Some have metal nuts, others are plastic. There's a fair amount
of discussion online, and a few horror stories, about inspecting
and replacing braided hoses far more frequently than I had
assumed necessary.
