Thanks for that, Jim. The hose looks as if it must have a larger i.d.
than 5/8'' though, but w/o cutting it, I can't be sure. I'm leaving in a
trip in just a couple days and there isn't time to cut it, determine the
i.d., order extra hose and 90-degree elbows to get it out of the way in
the cabinet, and install all that before I leave, so I'll move to that
project when I return.
