Overall Assessment

Customers commend this product for its quality and convenience. The hose is well-received for being a suitable solution when trying to find the correct angles. It's notably practical for various projects, as evidenced by a user successfully using it for their 1936 Ford Flathead. However, it's important to note its flexibility, or lack thereof, as one consumer struggled to achieve a near 90° bend. Despite that, its overall usability, material quality, and substantial adaptability make it highly recommended in comparison to other options available in the market.

This style works well as a upper radiator hose. Just make sure you mesure the length a little longer for room the flex of the hose.

I wasn't able to find a hose with the angles I had, and this hose worked great. I used two on my project.

Trying to connect to lower radiator hose and water pump, needed an almost 90 degree bend; not going to happen. Had an old unused hose on the shelf that had about the right bend which I shortened to fit.
