Bk 496-922DIB Ice Maker Connector Hose 1/4 in X 10 Ft

Product Description

The BK 496-922DIB is a 1/4-inch x 10-foot braided stainless steel ice maker connector hose designed for potable water supply connections to refrigerators and ice-making equipment. The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with 304 stainless steel for added burst resistance and long-term durability. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for tools. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 125 psi and a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F, this hose is built to handle both hot and cold water supply conditions in demanding install environments.

This connector is approved for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications. It is a common choice for connecting refrigerator ice makers, standalone ice machines, and similar fixtures to standard 1/4-inch supply lines. The flexible braided construction makes routing in tight spaces behind appliances straightforward, reducing installation time for plumbers and service technicians handling fixture connections on residential and light commercial jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified appliance technician. Shut off the water supply valve before disconnecting or connecting the hose. Hand-tighten the brass nuts to the supply valve and appliance fitting — do not use a wrench or pipe wrench, as overtightening can damage the brass threads or crush the washer seal. Verify there are no kinks in the hose after routing and confirm no leaks are present before returning the system to service.
