Was going to be gone for several weeks, so turned off the faucets to the washing machine where I noticed the hot water hose was blistered and had some turgid bubbles in the outer skin (these were black vinyl/rubber, not woven-metal clad).
Interestingly, when I took them off, they each had printed on them a manufacturing date of 2014 and a "replace by" September 2020. Fortunately no leaks--wouldn't have been too bad a mess as they're in the unfinished part of the basement. | ||

I shut off the valves too after each use. To save the angle stops from wearing out I screwed on brass 1/4 turn shutoff valves like you can use on your outside faucets at the suggestion of Yogi (Martin) This works perfectly.
