The construction layers a virgin PVC core with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braids it with 304 stainless steel for tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Fittings are chrome-plated brass hex nuts with washers that seat hand-tight, eliminating the need for tools at the connection points. Rated to 125 psi maximum working pressure and 180 degrees F maximum temperature, this connector handles typical residential hot and cold supply line conditions. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is approved for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications. It connects standard 3\/8 inch female compression or FIP shutoff valve outlets to fixture supply inlets using a 3\/8 inch OD end. The 20 inch length accommodates standard under-sink rough-in distances for faucets, toilets, and similar fixtures. IAPMO listing makes it acceptable under most adopted plumbing codes in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel over-braid provides corrosion resistance and burst protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVirgin PVC core with polyester yarn inner braid resists cracking and kinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers create a hand-tight leak-free seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 125 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 180 degrees F maximum 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\u003eDesigned for water supply connections to faucets and plumbing fixtures with 3\/8 inch female inlet fittings and 3\/8 inch OD compression or equivalent outlet valves, suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply at the main or branch shutoff valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting existing supply lines. Hand-tighten the brass nuts onto the valve outlet and fixture inlet, then snug with a wrench no more than a quarter to half turn beyond hand-tight to avoid cracking the fitting seats. Verify no leaks under full working pressure before closing the cabinet or finishing the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch Female\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch OD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 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\u003eCore Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Virgin PVC with polyester yarn braiding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBraid Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting 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: 0.295 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: 496-073\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346580177202,"sku":"496-073","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549848.jpg?v=1782084370","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-073-stainless-steel-faucet-connector-3-8in-x-20in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
