Bk 496-104 Toilet Supply Connector 3/8 Fc X 7/8 Bc 16 in

Product Description

The BK 496-104 is a braided stainless steel toilet supply connector designed for water supply connections between shutoff valves and toilet fill valves. It features a virgin PVC core reinforced with polyester yarn braiding and an outer layer of 304 stainless steel braid for strength and flexibility. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for tools. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F, this connector meets the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing installations. IAPMO listed.

This connector is sized with a 3/8 inch female compression (FC) inlet and a 7/8 inch ballcock (BC) outlet, covering the standard toilet fill valve connection found in most residential and light commercial restroom installations. The 16 inch length accommodates typical in-wall shutoff-to-tank distances. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors install this fitting during new construction, fixture replacement, or routine toilet service. It is sold individually and suited for any application requiring a flexible braided supply line at a toilet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified plumbing technician. Shut off the water supply at the angle stop valve and flush the toilet to relieve line pressure before disconnecting the existing supply line. Hand-tighten the brass nuts to seat the washers, then verify for leaks before returning the system to service. Do not over-tighten with a wrench, as this can crack the fitting seat or damage the washers.
