The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with 304 stainless steel for strength and long-term durability. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and pre-installed washers allow a hand-tight, leak-resistant seal without special tools. Rated to 125 psi and 180 degrees F, this connector meets the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and skilled tradespeople install this connector as a standard toilet rough-in or replacement supply line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is sized at 1\/2 inch FIP on the supply stop end and 7\/8 inch ballcock (BC) nut on the toilet fill valve end, with an overall length of 20 inches. That length accommodates most standard toilet rough-in depths where the shutoff valve is located in the wall or floor below the tank. It is approved for water supply connections to plumbing fixtures in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. IAPMO listing confirms compliance with recognized plumbing codes and product standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel over-braid provides corrosion resistance and mechanical protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVirgin PVC core with polyester yarn braiding for flexibility and pressure retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex nuts with washers for a hand-tight, dependable 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\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for water supply connections to toilet fixtures using a 1\/2 inch FIP supply stop and a standard 7\/8 inch BC nut ballcock or fill valve inlet.

Thread the FIP end onto the supply stop and the BC nut end onto the fill valve inlet by hand, then snug with pliers — do not overtighten, as over-torquing brass nuts can crack the fill valve shank. After installation, slowly restore water pressure and inspect both connections for leaks. Installation must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.\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 Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 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\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\u003eNuts\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: 0.29 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: 496-153\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346989121842,"sku":"496-153","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549852.jpg?v=1782095731","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-153-toilet-supply-connector-1-2-fip-x-7-8-bc-nut-20-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
