The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with Type 304 stainless steel for strength and long-term durability. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for additional tools or thread sealant. Rated for a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F and a maximum pressure of 125 psi, this connector meets the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications. It is IAPMO listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used for water supply connections to faucets, toilets, ice makers, and other plumbing fixtures. At 72 inches in length with 3\/8 inch compression fittings on each end, it accommodates installations where standard shorter connectors fall short, such as pedestal sinks, vessel faucets, or retrofits with difficult access angles. The 3\/8 inch compression x 3\/8 inch compression configuration is a common fitment for residential and light commercial supply lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 304 stainless steel over-braid for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirgin PVC core with polyester yarn braiding for flexible, kink-resistant performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers for a hand-tight, leak-resistant seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure of 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum temperature rating of 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIAPMO listed for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproved for residential, commercial, and industrial applications for water supply connections to plumbing fixtures.

Shut off the water supply at the stop valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting any existing connector. The hex nuts are designed for hand-tight installation followed by no more than one-quarter turn with a wrench — do not overtighten, as this can damage the washer or crack the fitting body. Verify the installation complies with local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches Compression x 3\/8 inches Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 72 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBraid Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 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\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\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e: IAPMO Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 496-039\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344196206898,"sku":"496-039","price":20.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549767.jpg?v=1782031421","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-039-stainless-steel-faucet-connector-72-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
