Meeetch - the bend don't hurt - use a strain relief, and skip the fitting - they are a failure point and unnecessary - if you don't need it, don't use it. I have never had a hose fail catastrophicly, but then I use the best and change them evry six to nine months. No swivels, they do fail catastrophicly, and put the hp hose OVER the wings not under, Tough Guy. You are now sentenced to one more viewing of doing it right. For my next tape I have rented an Organ Grinder Monkey , not to be upstaged by Tom - I hear he has one of his own.
