Bk 496-212DIB 5 Ft Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hose 125 Psi

Product Description

The BK 496-212DIB is a 5-foot braided stainless steel washing machine supply hose rated for 125 psi service. It connects with 3/4-inch female fittings on both ends, sized for standard residential washing machine inlet valves and shutoff valves. The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with Type 304 stainless steel for mechanical protection and long service life. Chrome-plated brass hex connector nuts and integrated washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without additional sealant. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this hose as a direct replacement or new installation on residential, commercial, and industrial water supply connections to fixtures.

This hose is suited for washing machine water supply connections in residential laundry rooms, commercial laundromats, and light industrial wash-down applications. It carries IAPMO listing, confirming compliance with recognized plumbing standards for water supply connectors. The 5-foot length accommodates most standard spacing between wall shutoffs and the washing machine inlet ports. Its all-metal connector nuts resist corrosion in humid mechanical rooms and laundry spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or a qualified DIYer familiar with water supply connections. Shut off the water supply at the wall valve and disconnect power to the washing machine before replacing the hose. Hand-tighten the brass connector nuts only — over-torquing with tools can damage the integral washer or crack the nut. Inspect the hose and connections for leaks after restoring water pressure, following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.
