The core is constructed from virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with 304 stainless steel for strength and long service life. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers deliver a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for additional thread sealant on the nuts. Rated to a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F and a maximum pressure of 125 psi, this connector meets the performance demands of typical supply line applications. IAPMO listed for code-compliant installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply connections to faucets, valves, and similar fixtures. The 3\/8 inch compression by 3\/8 inch compression end configuration and 24-inch length make it a practical choice for under-sink faucet supply installations where standard flexible supply lines are required. The braided stainless steel outer jacket provides mechanical protection against abrasion and accidental kinking in tight cabinet spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel over-braid for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability\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 and washers for a hand-tight, leak-resistant seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 125 psi maximum working pressure and 180 degrees F maximum temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIAPMO listed for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch compression x 3\/8 inch compression ends, 24-inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard flexible supply line replacement for faucets and fixtures requiring 3\/8 inch compression inlet connections.

Shut off the water supply at the stop valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting the existing supply line. Hand-tighten the compression nuts fully, then snug with a wrench — avoid over-tightening brass nuts, which can crack or deform the seat. Verify there are no leaks at both connections after restoring water supply pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch Compression x 3\/8 inch Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum 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\u003eCore Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Virgin PVC with polyester yarn braiding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Braid Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel 304\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-plated brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.296 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e: IAPMO Listed\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: 496-034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347899351346,"sku":"496-034","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549770.jpg?v=1782115806","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-034-stainless-steel-faucet-connector-24-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
