    Burst free washing machine hose.
    Somewhere it was mentioned to use 'burst free' washing machine hoses.
    Which one do I purchase? Also, when doing the connection, should that white material that comes in a small winded spool be used? I forget the name of it... is it teflon tape?

    Since these are hose connections you don't need to Teflon Tape the threads.

    Hi i64, notice the "burst free" hoses carry a 10 year warranty, I wouldn't expect them to last much longer than that. Good luck

    Kind of funny but I do what Chuck is doing. I know better but then I too have never had one burst. I do replace them every 5-10 years.
