I have spoken with Eric on two occasions, and would have no qualms about using his hoses. It's ABOUT TIME that someone offered a heated hose warranty. regards, oG |

Was that suppose to be "no qualms"? Did he explain how the heating elements are attached to the hose? I assume they are slipped over the Parker Hoses, I just cannot figure out if they are physically attached to the hose in any way??? Thanks. |

Non-Graco hoses and warranties are all fine and I think we should have hose warranties but I wonder if hooking up non-Graco parts to their machines if they'll just turn around and say "well you had so-and-so brand hooked up so we're not gonna honor any warranties on the equipment" in the event if you something go wrong with your unit. |

Seeing how they want everything Graco. Making it harder to buy parts from an outside source, or turning your own. |

My 2 cents: The only time it would be an issue is if the machine would have a hose/thermocouple error, and diagnosing the problems with the thermocouple or hoses, wouldn't clear the error. Then perhaps it could not be diagnosed properly or cleared because your not using Graco hoses and be written off as to bad section(s) of hose? But you check the continuity of the hoses and its good. Not likely to happen, but thinking out loud. However, the warranty is one year and its not likely to have errors in the first year. My thoughts.... |

I've been thinking about this more, its kind of like buying a ford, and using non-ford gasoline, would that void your warranty on the car? I would have to think if you follow the recommendations of hose length min and max for the machine, use the TSU that comes with the machine, there shouldn't be a problem. |

I was just sayin, what if? I mean Graco does own like 99.99% of the market and who'd stop them. Other than Gama who else is there? |

I'm curious Olger. Graco has a 1 year warranty on the hoses... Quite frankly, I can't think of one hose issue I have seen that was 1 year old or less that Graco hasn't approved. I could not find the hoses in discussion, are they offering a warranty longer than 1 year? |
