Heater L hose quality

A few months back I replaced the little elbow hose, the one with two different ID’s on the heater box. I had the forethought to order a spare in order to save on shipping and also for an emergency. Odd that this has already failed and I smelled antifreeze dripping from this hose today. It is an easy fix, but shows that some of the parts we buy are not of top quality. Had this happened in the middle of no where this is a hard hose to replace. Check your hoses for leaks when everything is toasty hot.
