The top hose measures 10 inches (from end to end) and I was able to bend it enough with short hose, the longer hose is 20 inches from end to end. used it for abbout three hours so far and the holdong valve works great. I do have other issues with trying to install a later PTO valve to the kohler engine and now the brake is not fully engaged. but here are pics of what I did with hose from travel valve to motor
