Bk 496-213 Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hose 125 Psi

Product Description

The BK 496-213 is a 6-foot braided stainless steel washing machine supply hose rated for 125 psi and up to 180 degrees F. It connects washing machines to standard 3/4-inch water supply valves using chrome-plated brass hex connector nuts that form a dependable hand-tight seal. The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with Type 304 stainless steel for burst resistance and long-term durability. IAPMO listed for use in residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications. Plumbers and appliance installers specify this hose where code-compliant, braided supply connections are required.

This hose is suited for standard top-load and front-load washing machine installations in residential laundry rooms, commercial laundromats, and light industrial settings. The 3/4-inch FHT by 3/4-inch FHT end fittings match the inlet connections found on most residential and commercial washing machines. The 6-foot length provides enough slack to allow equipment repositioning without stressing the connection. IAPMO listing satisfies plumbing inspection requirements in jurisdictions that adopt the Uniform Plumbing Code.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified appliance installer. Shut off the hot and cold water supply valves completely before disconnecting or connecting any supply hose. Hand-tighten the brass nuts to seat the washer, then snug with pliers — do not over-torque, as this can crack the washer or distort the fitting. Verify the connection is leak-free under normal supply pressure before returning the appliance to service.
