Bk 496-902 Stainless Steel Faucet Connector 20 in

Product Description

The BK 496-902 is a 20-inch universal faucet connector designed for water supply connections to plumbing fixtures in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with Type 304 stainless steel for strength and long-term durability. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without requiring tools. Rated to a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F and a maximum pressure of 125 psi, this connector meets the demands of standard potable water supply applications. It is IAPMO listed, confirming compliance with applicable plumbing codes. Licensed plumbers and general contractors typically install this connector during fixture rough-in or replacement work.

This connector fits standard faucet supply line applications across a wide range of fixture types, including kitchen and bathroom faucets. Its universal kit configuration makes it suitable for new installations and direct replacements in both residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The stainless steel over-braid and brass hardware resist corrosion in typical under-sink environments where moisture exposure is common.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IAPMO standards. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve before removing the existing connector or making any connections. Hand-tighten the brass nuts to seat the washers; avoid using a wrench or pipe wrench, as over-tightening can crack the brass fittings. Inspect for leaks at both ends after restoring water pressure.
