[C320-list] Water Heater antifreeze hoses

[David Prudden]

I concur with John-definitely not as bad as I thought it would be. I think it took about 3 hours.
The best price I found was $328 at FredWarner1.com 

I didn’t have enough time to replace hoses, but I believe it was 12’ of hose. I’m sorry, Jeff, I don’t know the diameter of the hose.
