I'm replacing the water supply hoses on my washer with stainless steel braided hoses.
I notice some models have a 90 degree elbow at one end of the hoses.
I'm also not sure if the elbow end is attached to the washer or reversed and
attached to the water supply valve. Youtube videos show it both ways.



In a proper install, the water supply threads should be pointing down.



Dang !
.. now I'll have to fix mine - to make it "proper" .. :-)

A rubber hose stressed by a 90 degree bend and water hammer every time the washing machine inlet valve closes is a water leak waiting to happen.
No big deal in an unfinished basement but could do thousands in damage on a second floor.
