Flexible Water Hose Protector
like using these at a couple of points in the city water hook-ups depending on the spickets used in rv parks...at the
water filter either at the water supply or the toyhauler entry at our 90 degree brass connection...works great with
no leaks...

Does what it is supposed to...
Works great to allow a bit of strength to your hose connection which can tend to kink a bit. Only problem is it has a tendency to RUST. I like to store all the fittings for my water connection, (Right angle, hose protector, small filter, etc) in a Ziplock after use, but if they are not fully dry the protector at least starts to rust within days. Waiting till they are all perfectly dry is not always practical, and throwing wet stuff around in the compartment is an invitation to mold, mildew and wood rot.
I gave it a 3 star rating because although it does what it is supposed to, and does protect the hose from kinking, the lack of rust proofing reduces it's visual appeal, (who wants to look at, let alone drink from a rusty anything?) and ultimately it's durability.
The rust happens on the spring assembly itself, and does not directly affect the taste of the water, but if it is in a ziplock bag... you get the point.

Flexiible hose protector
I am skeptical that it is 5/8" I.D. I ordered two, measured both, and concluded that they were only 1/2" I.D. I went to an RV store and found one made by Valterra #A01-0040VP that is indeed 5/8" I.D. It has a black connector instead of the yellow as in this review. Buyer beware!

Misleading product photo
The online catalog product photo (see above, also) clearly shows a 5/8" hose inside the protective spring.
The protector I received has a 1/2" hose. That's too small to allow adequate water flow into my RV.

Good design-flawed material
These protectors are a good design, but the material on the male end is too thin. I have two and both have bent causing leakage. Would not recommend.

Is this a 5/8 inch or 1/2 inch hose?
Aug, 2020. I just ordered and received one. It is definitely 1/2 inch.
