    Stainless Steel Flex Connector

    What's the best way to prepare stainless steel flex connectors (that connect hot water tank to the copper pipes)? I googled the site and the web, but I don't had much success. I removed the end connectors, but I am still stuck with a plastic hose inside the knitted wire mesh and it is a pain to pull using a vise.

    Sometimes you just have to move on with those. i get alot of those but it seems sometimes the hot water line hose melts a bit into the SS mesh and it wont budge. Just be happy with the brass ends. The mesh dont really weigh that much anyways. The small ones from sinks and toilets are a lot easier
