Bk 496-211 4 Ft Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hose 125 Psi

Product Description

The BK 496-211 is a 4-foot braided stainless steel washing machine supply hose designed for water supply connections to washers and laundry fixtures. It features a virgin PVC core reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with Type 304 stainless steel for added strength and burst resistance. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal at both ends. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F, this hose meets the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial installations. Plumbers and installation technicians reach for this hose when a reliable, long-service supply connector is required.

This hose is sized at 3/4 inches by 3/4 inches, matching the standard inlet fitting found on residential and commercial washing machines. It is suitable for new installations and direct replacement of worn or leaking supply hoses. IAPMO listing confirms compliance with recognized plumbing and mechanical standards, making it an accepted choice for permitted work across residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications. No special adapters are needed for standard 3/4-inch threaded machine inlets.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply valves fully before disconnecting the existing hose. Hand-tighten the brass hex nuts onto the machine inlet and wall valve, then snug with pliers — do not over-torque, as brass fittings can crack. Inspect the rubber washers for proper seating before pressurizing the line. A licensed plumber should perform this work on permitted commercial or industrial installations in jurisdictions that require it.
