  • Over time the rubber of the hose dries and cracks, and the elements/movement can expidite that process. I guess a hose inside of a wall could last much longer depending on the material. If they were made in the same way Fernco fittings are made, they could last a just as long (Fernco claim the fittings can last 50 years, but the company has only been around for ~50 years so the claim can’t really be tested).

    Pvc is designed to last 50 years but some people claim that its useful lifespan is 75-100 years, but Pvc hasn’t been around long enough to test the 100 year claim.
