Well I disagree.  This is in an area where the deterioriation cannot
be easily observed and won't be noticed by most owners until it fails
completely with potentially catastrophic results.  A more robust
design was called for in this case.


And it is costly to fix, the repar kit is $100 for what?  A few
grommets, tee fittings, a couple of feet of tubing?
