Bk W034SS101012 Water Heater Connector 3/4 in Fpt 12 in

Product Description

The BK W034SS101012 is a corrugated stainless steel water heater connector designed to link a water heater to the supply line at both the inlet and outlet ports. Built from 304 stainless steel, it handles a maximum operating temperature of 180 degrees F and a maximum working pressure of 125 psi. The connector measures 12 inches in length with 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) fittings on both ends. It is installed by licensed plumbers in residential, commercial, and industrial settings where a reliable, corrosion-resistant flexible connector is required.

This connector is suited for water supply connections to water heaters and plumbing fixtures across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The corrugated flexible body allows for minor misalignment adjustments during installation, making it practical in tight mechanical rooms or utility closets where rigid connections are difficult. The 3/4-inch FPT x 3/4-inch FPT configuration matches the standard inlet and outlet connections found on most tank-style water heaters.

Compatibility

Approved for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply connections to water heaters and plumbing fixtures. Suitable for use wherever a 3/4-inch FPT x 3/4-inch FPT flexible water heater connector is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and drain the line before removing the existing connector or making new connections. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FPT threads before tightening. Do not over-bend the corrugated body beyond the natural flex range, as kinking will restrict flow and compromise the fitting.
