Easiest water hookup yet. The inlet and outlet pipes were both almost immediately above the ones on the water heater, necessitating complete loops in the connectors. Tried one copper flex and could not achieve a satisfactory bend. Picked these up after reading reviews and was able to easily (and carefully) bend them into the required shapes. Hopefully they last a long time and I never have to struggle with the copper ones again! Don't seem to be able to upload a photo but will try to add after I submit this.

Failed after <2 years, need to check periodically
On a whim, I checked the water heater today and saw that one of the hot water connections was oozing rust; wiped the rust, the plastic sleeve was gone. The other connections look OK.
Bought and installed in Aug 2020, that's less than 2 years ago!
The ones I had installed before these (different brand, non-metallic) and had replaced (with these) as preventative maintenance lasted >4years w/ no issues.

Response from VPC, Home-Flex ExpertJun 6, 2022
Hi noname. I am glad that you noticed the ooze prior to having a large leak. It is good practice to inspect water connectors every six weeks or so to check for leaks. The life of a water connector has a lot to do with temperature, pressure and condition of the water, such as hardness, chlorine, etc. The rust that you had described did not originate inside the water connector. These water connectors are made of 304 stainless steel that does not rust. The absence of the dielectric collar is a mystery. If we can assist you, please give us a call.

I installed these with my new Rheem Hybrid 80 Gallon Hot Water Heater. I prefer these rigid metal hoses to the braided hoses as I've had a couple of the braided hoses leak. The setup went great, no complaints.

Worked great for my Rheem water tank installation
I used these Home-Flex connectors to connect water supply/feed plumbing to my recently installed Rheem 40 gallon, 36,000 BTU water tank. This new tank was 5 inches taller than the old A. O. Smith 40 gallon water tank which had used corrugated copper lines with sharp bends to reach the supply/feed connections on the old tank. I used these Home-Flex connectors to connect the new, taller tank to the supply/feed plumbing – but even adding a 90 degree elbow on the one line, the Home-Flex connectors had some sharp bends. If I had used copper connectors, connecting the new tank would have been much more difficult I expect. I am very pleased with how easy these were to install in contrast.

The separation by color makes it easy for anyone to know hot from cold.
The flexible tubing makes it easy for anyone to attach. The price was right as well.
All in one word, AWESOME...

Both Ends Have Nuts, not Shark Bite
I'm just a homeowner, not a plumber, and needed to replace a leaking line in my water softener.
This is the ONLY line they had in stock that didn't require special tools and a YouTube video to watch.
Thank gawd these were in stock, otherwise I would be forced to call a plumber for $$$

I Like These A Lot
I prefer using these stainless for water heater installations over copper flex lines. While I often need to solder two male adapters onto the rigid copper pipes from the wall, these flexible ones are incredibly easy to maneuver. Their flexibility is advantageous, and the length doesn't pose much of an issue for installation. In contrast, the copper flexes from Home Depot can be awkwardly difficult to flex, especially if they are longer than needed for the specific application.
