For commercial laundry washing machines
the water inlet hoses are supplied with the
washers from Maytag. These hoses are
configured with fittings at each end. At one
end is a standard NPT fitting that fits onto
faucets in North America, the other end has a
European fitting that fits onto the back of the
MFR washers. The fittings are distinguished
by a either having a smooth surface on the
fitting flats or notches in the fitting flats as
shown below.
There were some hoses that failed to hold
water tightly at the fitting crimps and the crimp
was redesigned to hold better. The hose crimp
should be as the New Armor style shown in
the illustration below.
