stuff snipped

I just bought one of these hoses for my ice maker. Never even knew
they existed. Since it was about the same price as either copper
tubing or a regular braided hose, seems like it can't hurt.

They're probably best suited to something like an icemaker where flow rate
is minimal to begin with. The price, as you point out, was right. In fact,
it was so right, I didn't even notice these had the rupture protector until
I opened the bag!
