This worked ok but the caps don’t adjust their angle based on hose length so I had to eyeball the angle of the 23443 manually. I’m satisfied with the result but is it possible to have the 23443 as a path segment?

PS. Is there a way to insert a path cap in LDCad itself? I had to add them using cut and paste via LDDP.
Indeed I didn't understood correctly Wink  It's easy to add the 23443 to the flex tube as a path cap , and then the orientation of the start of flex tube will depend on 23443 orientation. But I generally don't bother, and simply select 23443 AND flex tube control point (in nested mode), and rotate both at the same time.
To add 23443 as path cap, edit the flex tube, then add the part next to first control point. Then right click in main window -> grouping -> update auto groups (that last operation locks control point and path cap together).
