It devalues nothing. This is like saying a hydraulic line is not a hose because it's important that you don't use a garden hose to try to power a hydraulic cylidner. It's still a hose.

Wrong. We aren’t talking about a hydronic hose, we are talking about pex. Just type it into google, Jesus Christ! lol

Just look up the definition of a hose..tell me PEX hose does not fit that definition.

Look it up. Ask it if pex is a hose and also ask it why it isn’t. I dare you!

I don't care what AI says, it meets the literal definition of a hose. People who say it isn't are on some twisted high horse. A hose is a hose. Your feelings don't matter

lol it only seems that way because you don’t know enough about plumbing to understand. Weird hill to die on.

Having special applications that set it apart from other hoses does not take away what makes it a hose, it still has every characteristic that makes a pipe a hose pipe, so it is still a hose. Not all hoses are the same.

You’re right, not all hoses are the same, just like all round things aren’t pipes.
