Bsc Preferred 496-006DIB Faucet Supply Line 3/8x1/2x36

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 496-006DIB is a flexible faucet supply line designed to deliver a reliable water connection between the shutoff valve and the faucet body. Built with a reinforced PVC inner core wrapped in braided stainless steel strands, it resists kinking and crimping under normal service conditions. The stainless braid also provides mechanical protection in exposed undersink locations where the line may be subject to contact or minor impact. This supply line suits both hot and cold water service and is sized at 3/8 inch compression inlet by 1/2 inch FIP outlet, with an overall length of 36 inches. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this fitting as a standard faucet rough-in component.

This supply line is suited for residential and commercial faucet installations. Typical applications include kitchen sinks, bathroom lavatories, bar sinks, and utility faucets where a flexible braided line is preferred over rigid tubing. The 36-inch length provides working slack in tighter cabinet configurations and allows for minor offset between the stop valve and the faucet inlet. It handles both hot and cold supply runs, making it a single SKU solution for either position in a dual-handle setup.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting or installing any supply line. Hand-tighten fittings first, then snug with an adjustable wrench — do not overtighten compression fittings, as excess force can crack the ferrule or distort the seat. Inspect the installed line for leaks at both ends after restoring supply pressure.
