Universal 5 Foot Braided Washer Fill Hose
This universal 5 foot stainless steel braided washer fill hose connects a washing machine to a water supply. It is intended for homeowners and repair technicians who need a durable replacement inlet hose. Both ends feature a straight female hose fitting with a GHT nut that accepts standard hose washers. The braided stainless steel exterior covers an EPDM tube with brass ferrules for strength.
Straight Female Fittings Simplify Installation
Installation requires threading the female GHT nuts onto standard male garden-hose threads at the washer inlet and water valve. Hand-tighten each connection then add a quarter turn with pliers; over-tightening can strip the brass ferrules or damage the hose washer seat. A common issue is forgetting to insert the rubber washer, which causes leaks at the nut face. Ensure the hose hangs without sharp kinks to avoid stress on the braid.
Braided Stainless Steel Resists Sustained Pressure
The stainless steel braid protects the inner EPDM tube from expansion during continuous water-pressure cycles. Unlike unreinforced rubber hoses, this construction resists bulging and rupture over long wash cycles and repeated daily use. The hose is pressure tested for durability and safety, maintaining a consistent flow rate without degradation from heat or chlorine exposure common in household supply lines.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the stainless steel braided hose is seated and leak-free after connecting it to the washer inlet?
Turn on the water supply and inspect both GHT nut connections for drips; the braided stainless over EPDM tube and brass ferrules are pressure-tested, so a dry joint under normal household pressure shows the hose is working as intended.
What comes with the hose and which standard parts must be sourced separately?
The box contains the 5-foot braided stainless steel hose with female GHT nuts on both ends; standard rubber hose washers that fit GHT threads are not included and must be purchased separately.
Is the 5-foot length the only size offered for this model?
The supplied model STS5FTHOSE is a 5-foot universal washer fill hose; other lengths are different part numbers, so choose this version when the supply connection sits roughly five feet from the washer inlet.
