Title: NOT FLARED PROPERLY
Product review: The female portion of this hose has a plastic gasket used as a seal rather than being flared. Since the gasket takes up space inside the fitting I was unable to get that end of the hose far enough onto the male fitting of the heater to reach the threads, thus rendering the hose useless. Had this hose been flared, just as the hose it was meant to replace had been, there would not be an issue. Apparently, properly flaring the fitting would be more expensive than just throwing in a cheap plastic gasket.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
