After 18+ years of use, the yellow-coiled hose just completely started cracking and disintegrating! HOWEVER, you may notice that many pumps come with 2-different sections of hose ... one "connected to the pump" is BLACK ... the second is yellow-coiled hose ... these 2-hose are connected by either a 'Q' (Japan-type) 5-bearing connector, or possibly an 'M' (non-Japan) 3-bearing connector (BE SURE TO CHECK THIS). NOW the 'Review': GET THIS BLACK HOSE ... after being stored in a cool, shalded area, the yellow hose disintegrated ... without any real outward signs of being "bad"!! So I was glad that it catastrophically disintegrated while using it in the garage and not while on a trip. IMPORTANTLY: The smaller pump-attached BLACK HOSE --> DID NOT crack or suffer in-any-way even though it was in the exact same storage area and the same 'pump-storage-case'!! GO FOR THE 'BLACK HOSE' it's simply higher quality and will be dependable over a much longer time! I am extremely happy with the quality of this replacement for the yellow-coiled original ... the Black is easily stored (15') in the same pump pouch that came with the pump!!!
