Bsc Preferred 496-102DIB Ss Toilet Supply Line 9 Inch

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 496-102DIB is a flexible braided stainless steel toilet supply line designed to deliver a reliable, kink-free water connection between the shutoff valve and the toilet fill valve. The inner core is reinforced PVC tubing wrapped in braided stainless steel strands, giving the line both flexibility and mechanical protection in exposed under-tank locations. At 9 inches in length with a 3/8-inch compression fitting on one end and a 7/8-inch ballcock fitting on the other, this line suits standard residential and commercial toilet rough-in configurations. Plumbers and maintenance technicians install this line as a direct supply connection requiring no specialty tools.

This supply line is suited for both residential and commercial toilet installations where a short, flexible connection is needed between the stop valve and the toilet tank. The braided stainless steel exterior holds up in exposed locations under vanities and in utility rooms where mechanical abuse or moisture exposure is a concern. It is an appropriate choice for new construction rough-ins, remodel work, and like-for-like replacements on standard ballcock-equipped toilet tanks.

Key Features

• Braided stainless steel exterior resists kinking and physical damage in exposed locations
• Reinforced PVC inner core maintains flow and prevents collapse under normal supply pressure
• 3/8-inch compression inlet fits standard residential angle stop valves
• 7/8-inch ballcock outlet fits standard toilet fill valve connections
• 9-inch length suits typical close-coupled toilet installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement supply line for standard residential and commercial toilets equipped with 7/8-inch ballcock fill valves and 3/8-inch compression angle stop valves.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply at the angle stop valve and flush the toilet to relieve pressure before disconnecting the existing line. Hand-tighten the compression fitting and ballcock nut first, then snug with pliers — do not overtighten, as over-torquing compression fittings on braided lines can crack the ferrule or fitting body. Installation must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for potable water supply connections. This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for DEHP and Lead.
