benjen have you used the Fragola series 8000? Is it a nylon braid or more like a fabric/cloth braid? In the pictures it looks more like a fabric/cloth braid and that stuff usually holds dirt and mold/mildew, etc. Just wondering if you had first hand experience with it.

I upgraded my stock merc cooler lines before last season to -12 summit push loc hose and fittings. Getting ready to run them again this year. No problems so far.

The nylon is impregnated to the rubber I believe. Yes and no on the usage. Yes, I am using it now. But, as far as dirt and mold I have not had it on for any length of time.

So Fragola I guess, it looks like that's all they sell for Push-Lok
