Bsc Preferred 496-202DIB Dishwasher Connector 3/8x60

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 496-202DIB is a braided stainless steel dishwasher supply line connector designed for residential and commercial water supply installations. The line is built with an inner reinforced PVC core wrapped in braided stainless steel strands, providing kink resistance, crimp resistance, and durable protection in exposed locations. At 3/8 inch by 60 inches, this connector gives installers adequate reach for most standard under-sink dishwasher hookups. The kit includes a brass garden hose fitting and a smaller brass adapter, covering the most common supply fitting configurations found in the field. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this connector as part of a complete dishwasher water supply setup.

This connector is suited for both residential kitchens and light commercial settings where a reliable, flexible dishwasher water supply line is needed. The 60-inch length accommodates typical cabinet and base configurations without requiring additional extensions. The included brass fittings make it compatible with most standard water supply valves without sourcing separate adapters. The braided stainless steel outer layer stands up to the wear and moisture exposure common in under-sink environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply at the nearest isolation valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting any existing supply lines. Hand-tighten fittings first, then snug with an appropriate wrench — avoid over-torquing brass fittings to prevent cracking. Inspect all connections for leaks after restoring water supply before closing the cabinet.
