I am wondering if there is a reason why one would need to (or want to) use a thick, stiff hose for a sink drain connected to a seacock. It makes bends difficult/impossible and makes it difficult to remove the hose from the barb. It seems like overkill in a situation where there is little to no pressure on the hose. Something like Tygon/PVC tubing would seem adequate and much easier to work with. I would think the same would be true for the raw water cooling hoses. Am I missing something? Dave
