Q: Can flexible water heater hoses prevent leaks?

A: Yes, high-quality flexible hoses with reinforced layers minimize leaks by resisting wear and pressure fluctuations. Regular inspections are still recommended to detect early damage.

Q: What length of flexible hot water heater hose should I buy?

A: Measure the distance between the heater and plumbing connections, adding extra length for bends. Standard sizes range from 18 to 48 inches for residential use.

Q: How long do water heater flexible pipes typically last?

A: Most last 3-5 years, but stainless steel variants can exceed 10 years with proper maintenance. Replace immediately if cracks, rust, or bulging appear.
