Bk 496-212EL Washing Machine Hose 125 Psi 60 in Braided

Product Description

The BK 496-212EL is a braided stainless steel washing machine connector hose designed to supply water to residential, commercial, and industrial washing machine installations. The hose measures 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch by 60 inches and features a 90-degree elbow fitting on one end for tight-clearance installations. The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with Type 304 stainless steel for pressure resistance and long service life. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers allow a dependable hand-tight connection. Maximum working pressure is 125 psi and maximum temperature is 180 degrees F.

This hose is suited for connecting a washing machine water supply valve to the machine inlet in residential laundry rooms, commercial laundromats, and light industrial settings. The elbow configuration is especially useful where the machine sits close to the wall and a straight fitting would create a sharp bend in the supply line. The 60-inch length provides adequate slack for standard installations without excess slack that could create a tripping hazard or allow the hose to kink.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/4-inch fitting replacement supply hose for residential and commercial washing machine water connections where a 60-inch braided hose with elbow is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off the water supply valves fully before disconnecting the old hose. Hand-tighten the brass nuts to seat the washer, then snug with pliers — do not overtighten, as over-torquing brass fittings can crack the nut or deform the washer seat. Inspect for leaks at both ends after restoring water pressure.
