I am not really after savings, just a better hose that can be replaced easily and take more abuse then the factory one. that hydro hose can take major abuse and JIC fittings are so much better then the weak aluminum fitting on the cooler. Guess Ill wait and see what happens when my hoses come from Phil.

Good point on the NPT and too snug. I have cracked plastic things from over doing it.
