The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with 304 stainless steel for strength and long-term durability. Fittings are chrome-plated brass hex connector nuts with washers that seat hand-tight without tools. The connector is rated for a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and experienced installers handle this connector as a standard rough-in or fixture replacement component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector fits toilet rough-in supply lines where a 3\/8-inch female compression (FC) inlet at the angle stop and a 7\/8-inch ballcock (BC) inlet at the toilet tank are required. The 12-inch length suits typical residential toilet installations where the angle stop valve is in close proximity to the fixture. The braided stainless steel construction makes it suitable for applications where durability and corrosion resistance are priorities, including commercial restrooms and light industrial facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirgin PVC core with polyester yarn braiding for flexible, kink-resistant performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel over-braid provides corrosion resistance and mechanical protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers deliver a dependable hand-tight 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 applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for toilet fixture water supply connections requiring a 3\/8-inch female compression connection at the supply stop and a 7\/8-inch ballcock connection at the toilet tank fill valve, with a 12-inch overall length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified installer in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
