This hose replaces fully the original part. He is also much more flexible so that it could consider the withdrawal weight omit. Whether the life is given in the same way remains to be seen. the old inner tube held 10years. Addendum: After a few weeks in use fall 2 negative points: 1. The fact that the inner tube is not hard but very soft, the water flow can no longer be so precisely adjusted, the water flows through the expansion (turn) and then the contraction (off) of the soft inner tube after. 2. The new hose runs to slightly cock back and forth.
