Certified Appliance Accessories WI12SSFM Braided Stainless Steel Water-Inlet Hose, 1ft

I saw someone else mention this in a review and I decided to take a chance on this as well. I needed a short extension in order to attach my water heater to a garden hose so it could be drained. Because of how the heater was installed it was not possible to get a hose right on the drain. This short extension was perfect though and got the job done.

Well built works well.

I needed to run a cold-water line from my washing machine to a refrigerator in the garage. I connected one end of this hose to the cold-water line used by the washing machine. I connected the other end of the hose to a brass Y-connector. I ran the original hose that was connected to the washing machine from one end of the Y-connector. I connected the other end of the Y-adapter to a 3/4 in. FHT x 1/4 in. O.D. Compression Brass Adapter Fitting. I removed the compression fitting so that I could connect a 6-ft 1/4-in stainless steel hose from the Fitting. I drilled a hole through the wall between the garage and the house behind the washing machine. Be careful not to drill through the soil pipe! Next, I ran that 1/4-in hose through the wall to the garage. Next, I connected a 1/4 in. OD Compression Brass Valve Fitting on the end of the 1/4-in stainless steel hose inside the garage so that I could shut off the valve before I connected the refrigerator. Finally, I ran another 1/4-in stainless steel hose to my refrigerator in the garage.

Works great where you need a short connection and/or to connect flat soaker hoses to make u-shaped turns (obviously need ground stakes then to hold this 1ft hose in place). Wish more lengths were available up to 4 feet

Very well built. There is nothing low quality here.They do NOT work well with the Certified Appliance YFBFMM "Y" spliter.I bought two of braided hoses and two of the "Y's" for a new dual washer washing machine to split the hot and cold lines to feed both washers (LG front-load washer and Sidekick mini washer). When tightening the "Y" and the hose together, the gasket pushes up into the mail-threaded end of the hose. I believe this is more a problem with the "Y" and/or it's gasket. It leaked every time I tried to make it work. I ended up using the LG factory provided rubber hoses and plastic "Y's".The hose is awesome but the combination of the hose and "Y" did not work. The "Y" will work on garden hose projects. I am very disappointed they did not work together. I tired several times and maybe a better gasket and some plumbers tape would have worked but I could not spend all of the extra time to try to make it work.

Added to the bottom of 2 water heaters. The drains bibs at the bottom did not provide a lot of clearance and made attaching a garden/drain hose difficult. Was able to install these to the water heater drain valve and leave attached. Now, during maintenance, it is easy to attach the garden/drain hose to th3 heaters.

Good quality, good price. I had trouble locating this hose with this combo of fittings at my local stores. Locally I could only find this with multi hose sets at a much higher price

Used this to extend the water line from the spout behind the washer so I could put a "Y" connector to feed water to both the washer and dryer... worked very good for what it was purchased for.
