The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with Type 304 stainless steel for strength and long-term durability. Chrome-plated brass hex connector nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal. The connector is rated for a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F and a maximum working pressure of 125 psi. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors install this fitting as a code-compliant supply connection between the shut-off valve and the toilet tank fill valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for water supply hookups in residential bathrooms, commercial restrooms, and light industrial facilities. The 1\/2 inch FIP inlet connects to a standard angle stop or straight stop valve, while the 7\/8 inch BC outlet fits a standard ballcock or fill valve shank nut on most toilet tanks. At 16 inches in length, it accommodates typical wall-to-toilet rough-in distances without excess slack. The IAPMO listing confirms compliance with applicable plumbing product standards for use in regulated installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 304 stainless steel over-braid for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVirgin PVC core with polyester yarn reinforcement layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers for a hand-tight, leak-resistant seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 125 psi working pressure and 180 degrees F maximum temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIAPMO listed for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 inch length with 1\/2 inch FIP x 7\/8 inch BC end connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or new-installation toilet supply connector for fixtures using a 1\/2 inch FIP valve outlet and a 7\/8 inch ballcock shank nut connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified plumbing technician. Shut off the water supply at the angle stop or straight stop valve and flush the toilet to relieve pressure before disconnecting the existing connector. Hand-tighten the brass nuts onto both the valve outlet and the ballcock shank, then snug with pliers — do not overtighten, as over-torquing the brass nuts can crack the fitting or seat. Verify no leaks at both ends after restoring water supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch BC (Ballcock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 inches\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\u003eBraid Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Virgin PVC with Polyester Yarn Reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut and Washer 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: 0.254 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: 496-152\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346052874546,"sku":"496-152","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549851.jpg?v=1782069853","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-152-toilet-supply-connector-1-2-in-fip-x-7-8-in-bc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
