LDR Industries 516 D7802 2' Bag Dishwasher Discharge Hose, 7/8"

This hose is great for connecting between a dishwasher air gap and disposal. At first I struggled with a cheaper PVC hose from local orange big box, which was extremely stiff and impossible to bend to fit- don't even think of buying one!. This one from Amazon was easy to curve and make the connection. Removed one star because of tendency of this hose to kink if you try making too sharp a bend.

Will collapse if bent too much. Simple solution: Buy one or more 1” PEX elbows and some hose clamps. The elbow has 13/16” outside diameter connectors and this hose will slip over can be clamped into place.

This dishwasher hose is difficult to bend in tight places such as under the sink. It's easy to kink because it's too thick and heavy for use as a simple discharge hose. But this is what has always been used, and things haven't changed in a hundred years.Long ago virtually all discharge hoses were this type. Those used for washing machines have mostly been replaced with corrugated ones which are easier to bend. But dishwasher hoses need to fit snugly at both ends, so this is what we get. You might think with modern technology we could have thinner, more flexible ones. Instead we're stuck with this type, which is really designed for applications where high temperature and pressure are present, such as automotive radiators. Someone needs to start making flexible tubing with a 7/8" inside diameter. Surprisingly, no such thing exists!I wonder whether I could use standard 3/4" transparent tubing, and push it over the ends tightly. After all, we're talking about a difference of only 1/8 of an inch. Maybe using a hair dryer to soften the end a bit. I'll have to give that a shot, because this hose sücks!

It's a piece of rubber hose. It's job is to connect the air gap to the disposer. Tried to buy something that would do the job at the local big box home improvement stores. The only thing they had (supposedly made for the job) was corrugated hose with proper fittings on each end. Being corrugated, you couldn't cut it and it was 8 FEET LONG!! Who puts the disposer 8 feet from the air gap. Ridiculous​ that I had to order this on line but Amazon came through. I don't know what "bag" means in the description but as a 2 foot piece of reinforced rubber hose (7/16 ID) it works.

Took me a while to attach it at a specific angle so that it wouldn't kink. Otherwise it's as described.

Rubber is a bit hard, had to heat it up a bit to get it to make the turns without crimping.

Plenty of hose supplied- quite generous really. Wasted time and money trying to get the correct hose first at Home Depot, then an auto parts (it is similar to heater hose). When the heater hose turned out to be incorrect, I thought, "Why don't I just check Amazon?" Done and done with a few clicks.

This seems to be working OK for the time being, but during installation it was surprising how easily this hose kinks. For now I feel comfortable keeping it in place, but I hesitate to recommend this product.
