The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with 304 stainless steel for durability under pressure. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for tools. The connector is rated to a maximum pressure of 125 psi and a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F, and it carries IAPMO listing for code-compliant installations. Licensed plumbers install this connector as part of toilet rough-in and fixture-setting work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 496-102 is sized with a 3\/8-inch female compression fitting on one end and a 7\/8-inch ballcock nut on the other, making it a standard fit for toilet fill valve connections. At 9 inches in length, it suits typical residential and light commercial toilet installations where the supply stub-out is located close to the fixture. The IAPMO listing confirms compliance with applicable plumbing codes for potable water supply applications across residential, commercial, and industrial settings.\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 reinforcement for flexible, durable service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers for a hand-tight, leak-resistant connection\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 code-compliant residential, commercial, and industrial water supply use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 In. female compression x 7\/8 In. ballcock nut connection ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation supply line for toilet fill valves requiring a 3\/8-inch female compression inlet and a 7\/8-inch ballcock nut connection, suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial toilet fixture applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber following local plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines for water supply connections. Shut off the water supply at the angle stop valve and flush the toilet to relieve line pressure before disconnecting or installing the supply connector. Hand-tighten the brass nuts to seat the washers, then verify for leaks before returning the fixture to service. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack the brass nuts or damage the fill valve inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches Female Compression (FC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches Ballcock Nut (BC Nut)\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\u003eBraid Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 stainless steel\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: 0.17 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: 496-102\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51348047003954,"sku":"496-102","price":20.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549772.jpg?v=1782119120","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-102-toilet-supply-connector-3-8-in-fc-9-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
