Theses were cheaper here than at my local big box hardware store. Not an exciting product but the connections do have better seals (the cone type washers) than my old rubber hoses.

Steel hoses are recommended as they are less likely to burst than rubber ones, flooding your house. If your washer is on an upstairs floor you certainly should invest in these.


Remember, you need two, one for the hot water intake and one for the cold.

Purchased these for use in a home which is frequently left empty. Quality of construction is high, with high quality fittings on each end. Washers are included & manufactured in such a way they can't fall out. You can find similar for slightly less, but given the potential consequences of a burst hose I wanted to purchase from a known brand/supplier. Would definitely buy again.

Year ago I had a washing machine hose burst and it sprayed water all over a wall where I had all my ham radio equipment. Luckily I did not turn anything on but disconnected everything and dried it off with a hair drier. This took hours and then i waited a couple of weeks before turning anything on. At least now I hope that if a hose does ever burst again the outside mesh will redirect the water stream away from the electronic equipment. Fluidmaster No-Burst Washing Machine Connectors seem very well constructed and flexible enough for an easy and fast installation. These hose do not seem to 't kink or crease, even in the tightest of spaces or turns. The heavy-duty nuts are easy to grip.. I have had them up for about a year and they seem to be holding up well. They do cost a bit more than the cheap hoses that you can buy at your local home improvement store but for a couple of more dollars, it's cheap insurance against a major spill.
