Ok, had time to analyze the old plastic wrapped Accor hoses. Actually the inter and outer wasn’t bad at all. Very strong with wire mesh wrap over the plastic (or what ever the material was?). I have yet to figure out what the yellowish sticky goo was on hoses? IMO with weakest link is the push/pull valve.

As far as the valve body where it slides onto 1/2 pipe it has two serrated locks holding the assembly to 1/2 pipe. IMO it would probably have to be installed wrong for valve assembly to pop off 3/8” line. The serrated teeth dig in and you just can’t pull them off. You have twist counter clockwise while applying pulling pressure.
