Bk W034SS101024 Water Heater Connector 3/4 in Fpt 24 in

Product Description

The BK W034SS101024 is a corrugated stainless steel water heater connector designed to create a flexible, durable water supply connection between a water heater and the supply line. Built from 304 stainless steel, this connector handles a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F and a maximum pressure of 125 psi, making it a reliable choice for demanding residential, commercial, and industrial installations. Both ends terminate in 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) fittings, and the overall length is 24 inches. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this connector as a standard part of water heater rough-in and replacement work.

This connector is suited for water supply connections to water heaters and plumbing fixtures across a wide range of settings. Its corrugated flexible body simplifies alignment when heater inlets do not line up perfectly with supply drops, reducing the need for additional offset fittings. The 24-inch length provides adequate reach for most standard water heater closet and utility room installations in both new construction and retrofit applications. IAPMO listing confirms the connector meets recognized plumbing and mechanical code standards for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply service.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments. Shut off the cold water supply and relieve system pressure before disconnecting or connecting any water heater fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or approved pipe compound to male threads before making up connections; do not overtighten FPT fittings, as over-torquing can crack the fitting seats. Verify that the connector is not kinked or sharply bent during installation, as deformation of the corrugated body can restrict flow or cause premature failure.
