Nothing special about that hose.The real part at Messicks is only $50......
Except that would not be the long (3") drop provided by thr FJX90L hose end.Or, since TheOldHokie has cracked the code, you could buy from Surplus Center
931-2224 24" 3/8 #8 JIC swivel each end $11.95
9-65 0-8-8 90 deg #8 JIC fem swivel x #8 JIC male adapter $3.15
Total $15.10 + tax & shipping
That is the reason to buy the hose from "TheOldHokie" for $33 or Messicks for $50. Keep in mind you will be paying shipping no matter who you order from. My guess is that "TheOldHokie" will charge you less for shipping than Messicks based on how they charge for shipping as reported by others on this forum in the past.Except that would not be the long (3") drop provided by thr FJX90L hose end.
A long bent tube elbow would get you the drop but Surplus Center does not sell them

TheOldHokie ships most things USPS and is a big fan of their Priority Mail flat rate boxes.That is the reason to buy the hose from "TheOldHokie" for $33 or Messicks for $50.
