BurtonRWWashing Machine Hoses w/ Elbows at Both Ends?
Title says it all. Does anyone make such a hose (preferably of the braided steel wrapped variety)? If not, why not? If so, where can I find them?
Thanks.

OKCGeneHere is an alternative if you can't find exactly what you're requesting.
Link to 90 degree connectorsI *think* regular washing machine hoses will connect to these and should connect to your wall valves.
Best wishes to you.

architectBack in the day when I was doing landscaping I was having trouble finding decent heavy-duty hoses, e.g. that could stand laying in the street and being run over all day long. I went to the fire house and asked them where they bought theirs. They directed me to a tiny shop that looked as if it had been in business for 100 years, staffed by a guy who looked to be the original owner who did nothing but make hoses to order from components. Never looked back. I still have at least one of those hoses in regular use, it has to be well over 40 years old.

smlsigI was only able to find ones with 90 degree fittings on one end. If you want it on. Oth you might have to use the fitting posted above.

BurtonRWYep. I can find the ones with elbows on one end no problem, and I thought about connectors, but that’s just an additional failure point to worry about. My supply lines are mounted on cinder block, so I have connections at 90 degrees perpendicular to the wall and, of course, straight out the back of the washer. Double elbows would be very convenient.
I exhausted google before I posted here. Even found a guy on Reddit asking the same question with the same suggestion (about using connectors).
I’m probably SOL.

slosigI suspect the best answer is from architect. Locally, both Contactor’s Maintenance and Central Coast Bearing make hoses up. I suspect either could make what you want and I’ll bet there is at least one similar shop near where you are.

V-TailI have gotten some special hoses made to order by a company called Pirtek.
The big door on our hangar is raised by a 1,500 psi hydraulic system. Pirtek fabricated replacement hoses for me when the original ones started to leak.
I see that you're in Maryland. Pirtek has locations in Capitol Heights and Rockville.
Check their website.
