Thanks for the info., Jimmy. Were the flexible metal hoses used just for the Model V, or were they also used for the Model XXII and XXIIA?
Also, to clarify, the hose pictured in reply #5 is not direct connect, right? That would be the kind that had no pigtail at all. Did the heavy-duty uprights all have direct connect hoses, or did they start out with pigtail hoses? Sorry, I'm not up on all the correct terms.
