Bob, I would think that if the non meshed hose worked fine it should
do because it's obviosly not a pressurized system *. If it can save
you some bread. *If it's not a large diffrence in price, then go with
the better stuff.
The wire reinforced hose keeps it rigid so that it wont sag and possibly
present a hot spot problem. Long straight runs generally require the
wire reinforced hose.


Yeah, I forgot about the long runs. *So, I'd say you're probably
right. But then again. I wonder which design of hose was origional
equipment and which was the replacement?


Which looks older?


True to a degree.

If the inferior hose is baked and 'weather cracked' etc. I suppose it
could look older.
