Bsc Preferred 496-005DIB Faucet Supply Line 3/8x1/2x30 Braided

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 496-005DIB is a flexible faucet supply line designed to deliver a reliable water connection between the shut-off valve and the faucet body. The line is constructed with an inner reinforced PVC core tube surrounded by braided stainless steel strands. This combination resists kinking, handles mechanical stress in exposed locations, and maintains consistent flow for both hot and cold water service. At 30 inches in length with 3/8-inch compression fitting on one end and a 1/2-inch fitting on the other, it fits standard residential and light commercial faucet installations. Plumbers and licensed plumbing contractors are the typical installers for this type of supply line.

This supply line is suited for residential and commercial faucet connections where a flexible, corrosion-resistant line is required. It handles both hot and cold water supply lines, making it a general-purpose fit for kitchen faucets, bathroom lavatories, and similar fixtures. The braided stainless steel outer layer provides added protection when the line is installed in exposed under-sink environments or areas subject to physical contact.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply at the angle stop or main before removing the existing supply line. Hand-tighten fittings first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting seat. Inspect for leaks at both connections after restoring water pressure.
