Bk 496-924 Ice Maker Connector Hose 1/4 in X 20 Ft

Product Description

The BK 496-924 is a 0.25-inch x 20-foot braided stainless steel ice maker connector hose designed for water supply connections to refrigerators and ice-making equipment. The construction layers virgin PVC core with polyester yarn braiding over-braided with 304 stainless steel, delivering burst resistance and long service life. Chrome-plated brass hex nuts and washers provide a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for tools. Rated to 125 psi maximum pressure and 180 degrees F maximum temperature, this connector meets the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications. Plumbers and appliance technicians install this fitting as a code-compliant supply line.

This connector hose is suited for water supply connections to ice makers, refrigerators with built-in ice and water dispensers, and similar fixtures in residential kitchens, commercial food service environments, and light industrial settings. The 20-foot length provides flexibility for installations where the appliance sits farther from the supply valve. The 0.25-inch connection size on both ends mates with standard ice maker supply valve fittings. IAPMO listing supports use in jurisdictions that require listed products for plumbing supply connections.

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 only — do not use a wrench or pipe wrench on these fittings, as overtightening can crack the nuts or distort the washers. Verify local plumbing code requirements, including any IAPMO listing requirements, before installation.
