Product review (5 stars): Hard to find this length with steel braiding.
I was very glad to find these in an 8' length. I'd only been able to find 6' steel braided hoses in my local hardware stores, longer lengths were only available in plain rubber. I much prefer the steel wrapped for durability. Installed them with no problems, and most importantly no leaking. They do not have any color markings, to indicate hot or cold, they are solid silver as shown. I marked them myself on each end using red and blue paint. Good quality hoses, that I highly recommend.
