Josh if you go to your appliance store, they all have part departments and they will have the right hoses.

It was hard to remove the old hoses and want connectors with flat sides a wrench can be used on.

I'm taking a wild guess here, but maybe the manufacturers only want hand tightening or pliers to be used. A wrench can often over-tighten and cause some serious damage.

Hi Josh,

They make not be hexagonal as a precaution to prevent over torquing.

I did buy stainless steel hose for my new Maytag washer.

The hose fitting on the washer is plastic and the installation instruction caution to hand tighten and advance 3/4 turn more.

Just sayin
