Bk 496-062 Faucet Connector 1/2 in Fip X 1/2 in Comp 16 in

Product Description

The BK 496-062 is a braided stainless steel faucet supply connector designed for water supply connections to plumbing fixtures. It features a 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) inlet and a 1/2-inch compression outlet on a 16-inch length. The inner core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with 304 stainless steel for burst resistance. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and included washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for tools at the connection point. Rated to a maximum of 180 degrees F and 125 psi, this connector meets the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications.

This connector is used to link shut-off valves to faucets, toilets, and other plumbing fixtures in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and light commercial settings. The 16-inch length accommodates standard under-sink rough-in configurations. Its approval for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications makes it a versatile stock item for service plumbers and remodeling contractors working across multiple job types.
