It features a 1\/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) fitting on one end and a 1\/2-inch compression fitting on the other, with an overall length of 12 inches. The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, over-braided with Type 304 stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for tools. Rated to a maximum pressure of 125 psi and a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BK 496-061 is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications. It connects faucets, lavatory fixtures, and other plumbing fixtures to standard shutoff valves where a flexible supply line is required. Its flexible construction makes it easy to route in tight under-sink spaces, and the stainless steel braid provides protection against abrasion and accidental kinking during or after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 304 stainless steel braid over reinforced polyester yarn and virgin PVC core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex nuts with 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 operating temperature of 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIAPMO listed for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch FIP x 1\/2-inch compression end connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproved for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply connections to fixtures.

Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disconnecting any existing supply line. Hand-tighten the connector nuts to seat the washers, then verify for leaks before returning the supply to full pressure. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack the brass nuts or distort the sealing washer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 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\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\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e: IAPMO listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.21 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: 496-061\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344026730802,"sku":"496-061","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549765.jpg?v=1782027334","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-061-stainless-steel-faucet-connector-12-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
