This claim is apparently FALSE since the two I ordered pretty clearly say 'made in China' on them. This would be more of a problem for me if the price was more than the other similar non-US options here, but it was about the same.They also come with a California cancer and birth defects warning on them. I realize even the 'lead free' plumbing parts you can get now usually contain some small percentage of lead (which is unacceptable, for God's sake...). Or it could be some chemical in the gaskets, who knows (I wish the proposition 65 warnings actually gave specific information instead of just 'something in this product can cause birth defects or cancer'). Anyway the ones I got (24") are also maybe 1/2" different in length from each other, which doesn't matter much to me but does speak for the quality control in manufacturing.Not sure if I will keep these or return. I should have got 'lead free' ones. Besides the 'made in USA' claim, the other reason I chose these is that they are available with 1" FIP on one end and 3/4" FIP on the other which would make my installation cleaner not needing adapters... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hoses *by D***F on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2015* These hose are far, far superior to the stainless-braid covered hoses that break down and don't bend as well. They are very flexible and I feel this hose will last as long as the water heater (12 year warranty - 12 year life). My installation required some interesting bending of the hoses to match up the inlet/outlet (see pic). These QuickFlex hoses worked like nothing else would. ### ⭐ The 1" QFC-0124 is defective, and the company won't make it right. *by P***J on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2020* I purchased (3) QFC-0124 1"x1"x24" hoses and everything looked great at first. I noticed a slight drop in water flow after I installed them, but thought maybe my water softener had issues. After breaking it all down, it turns out the hose has a serious flaw. The rubber washer inside measures at a 0.75" inner diameter (opening) and restricts water flow. Reminder, this is sold as a 1" hose and there is no indication that under the hood it's 0.75". For comparison, I have a 1" sharkbite hose that's similar (Sharkbite is owned by the same company that owns Holdrite), and it has a 1" rubber washer in it.I have tried two phone calls over a two week span, submitting an online request on Holdrite's website, and submitted a question on Amazon regarding this issue. Promises of calling me back that never happen when I do call them. Unacceptable customer service by Holdrite, and it makes me not want to purchase anything related to this company again.I now have to go out and buy 3 other hoses and re-hook everything up (not an easy, clean, simple task). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/59749740-holdrite-1-1-4-inch-fip-x-1-1-4](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/59749740-holdrite-1-1-4-inch-fip-x-1-1-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
