Eastman Washing Machine Hoses, 6 ft
Product description
If you need a straightforward hot-and-cold hose set, this Eastman pair is built around the connections and color cues that make that setup easier to identify.
Each hose is 6 ft long and has a 90-degree elbow. That angled end may help when a straight connection would be awkward behind the washer.
The set includes one blue hose for cold water and one red hose for hot water, so the two lines are easy to distinguish during installation.
Fit and sizing
Both hoses have 3/4 in FHT connections at each end. Before buying, compare that connection size and type with your washer and water supply, and check that 6 ft gives you enough reach without forcing a tight bend. The listed length is fixed, so this set is not a fit for every layout.
The 90-degree elbows are the main practical detail beyond the basic connection. They can make routing easier where the washer sits close to the wall, although the available clearance still matters. Would an angled connection help in your space, or would a straight hose route more cleanly? If your hookups are easy to reach and already have plenty of room, the elbows may be less important.
For a typical replacement, the hot and cold color coding helps keep the lines sorted as you connect them. The maker describes the hoses as designed for full flow and high pressure, that claim does not remove the need to match the fittings and follow the appliance’s installation instructions.
Pros
- Two hoses are included, one identified for hot water and one for cold.
- Braided stainless steel construction, with nickel-plated brass nuts and stainless steel ferrules listed for the connections.
- 90-degree elbows can be useful when access behind the washer is cramped.
- CSA certified and UPC approved for residential use, according to the maker.
A limitation is the set’s specific 6 ft length and 3/4 in FHT ends. If your installation calls for a different reach or connection, the color coding and elbows will not solve that mismatch. Compared with choosing a basic straight hose set, this pair makes more sense when angled fittings and easy hot/cold identification are useful priorities.

Should you buy it?
You’ll appreciate it if you’re replacing both washer supply hoses, need the listed 3/4 in FHT connections, and would benefit from elbows in a tight installation. The paired red-and-blue hoses also make it easier to keep hot and cold lines distinct during hookup.
Better avoided if your washer setup needs another hose length or a different fitting. It is also worth choosing a simpler straight-hose approach if the elbows offer no useful clearance in your laundry space. Match the listed connections and length to your actual hookup before deciding, that is what determines whether this set is a practical replacement rather than just a convenient-looking pair.
