Excluding the couplers, what is the hose made of?

I dont really know...it is intended for drinking water but I liked it because it was lighter and thus easier to use on and around the deck. I would google the item and you will probably get the material description.

The hose is very durable. It isn't plastic but I don't know what braided SS is... I have not had to clean it.

The 2 I bought were made of the mesh material. They have been great and I haven't noticed too much kinking. I try to lay mine out in long loops to prevent some of that. Also, I have found it is very important to always use a pressure regulator. One of mine recently started showing tiny pin holes and I am certain it is due to the one time I did not use a pressure regulator.

It's all plastic. I see others saying stainless steel, it does look like SS but it is plastic. The hose looks great and no issues with it so far.

I believe that it was made of plastic. This expandable hose lasted only 1 and a half month. The company should have reimbursed my money. But I was left with a broken hose in my hands. I am very disappointed and disillusioned.

I have had my hose for about a year with no leaks or problems with connectors. it is lightweight and rigid yet flexible and kink-proof. I coils up nicely in a kettle-like container.

the hose has a coiled metal exterior so it can bend so interior most be rubber so it can bend too, I have no conerns about it and so far proving to be reliable and of quality craftsmanship in my opinion

The hose is not plastic. It is coiled metal of some sort and easy to clean. LOVE this faucet.

The fittings to the connector hose are brass but the hose itself is cheap and breaks easily.

JUST REGULAR GARDEN HOSE WASHERS. THEY CAN BE RUBBER BUT MOST OF THEM ARE Vinyl now. GOT MINE AT my local Ace Hardware store. Just go to any hardware store that has garden hoses. They usually have washers, & parts, etc. to repair them too. It really is easy, even for this 71 year old lady by herself.

as others noted, the item is manifold and hoses only. also note, besides no end adapters/connectors, the vac line is large connection and doesnt fit the std automotive acme fittings. for this i bought some brass adapters from local hvac store and soldered them together.

It is plastic but with a chrome finish. I think the hose part might be metal.

Pump body is made of plastic, fittings are made of brass. It has been an extremely durable little pump. I have been thoroughly impressed.

Has a plastic liner with a nylon or plastic mesh covering. If you cut it you have to use 3/8" hose couplings.

It appears to be a standard braided stainless hose (probably with a rubber core).
