Bsc Preferred 496-011DIB Faucet Connector 1/2x1/2x12 in

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 496-011DIB is a flexible braided faucet supply connector designed to deliver a secure, leak-resistant water connection between shutoff valves and faucet inlets. The line is built around an inner reinforced PVC core tubing encased in braided stainless steel strands. This construction resists kinking, crimping, and physical damage in exposed under-sink locations. At 12 inches in length with 1/2-inch fittings on each end, it fits standard residential and light commercial faucet supply applications. Plumbers and finish installers rely on this type of connector for reliable, code-acceptable hookups on both hot and cold water supply lines.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial faucet installations where a flexible, durable supply line is required. It is appropriate for use on both hot and cold water lines, making it a versatile choice for kitchen and bathroom faucet rough-in work. The braided stainless steel outer sleeve provides mechanical protection in tight cabinet spaces and other exposed locations where rigid tubing is not practical. Typical use includes connecting angle stop shutoff valves to faucet inlets during new installation or replacement service.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified finish installer. Shut off the water supply at the angle stop valve and relieve line pressure before removing any existing supply line. Hand-tighten the fittings first, then use an adjustable wrench for a final snug turn — do not overtighten, as this can damage the fitting seats. Verify there are no leaks at both connections after restoring water supply pressure.
