The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with 304 stainless steel for tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts at each end are sized at 1\/2 inch female on both connections and seat with included washers for a reliable hand-tight seal. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F, this connector meets the demands of everyday water supply service. It weighs 0.592 pounds and measures 48 inches in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing installations, this connector is a standard choice for hooking up kitchen and bathroom faucets to angle stop or straight stop shutoff valves. Plumbers and pipefitters reach for this type of connector during faucet replacements, new rough-in completions, and fixture upgrades. The 48-inch length provides routing flexibility in tighter cabinet or vanity configurations where shorter connectors fall short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel over-braid for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVirgin PVC core with polyester yarn reinforcement for pressure integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex nuts with washers for a leak-free hand-tight connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 125 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 180 degrees F maximum operating temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIAPMO listed for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproved for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply connections to faucets and plumbing fixtures with 1\/2 inch female inlet ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disconnecting or installing any supply connector. Hand-tighten the brass nuts onto the shutoff valve and faucet inlet, then snug with a wrench — avoid overtightening, which can crack the nut or deform the washer seat. Inspect the connection for leaks after restoring water pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch x 1\/2 inch female\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBraid Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Virgin PVC with polyester yarn braiding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-plated brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e: IAPMO Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.592 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 496-017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343037301042,"sku":"496-017","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549806.jpg?v=1782014484","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-017-stainless-steel-faucet-connector-48-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
