EASTMAN 98507 is a washing machine fill hose that can be used with a laundry tub faucet or portable water source. It has 12-inch long hot and cold branches and is designed to prevent common sources of water leaks. The hose is easy to install and can be hand-tightened, then tightened an additional 1/2 turn with a wrench. It is important not to overtighten the connection. The hose coupling nuts are designed to screw easily onto a faucet thread and should not be screwed onto a threaded pipe.
