Malibu Tony,

I just wanted to commend your unusually constructive and informative post. It
is all to rare in the current climate. I have used the Hoseman outlets for
years for all my hoses including custom air conditioning hoses, but was not
aware of the socketless connectors.

Appreciate the resource

Thanks,
