Crown Industries CSC0618 Water Heater Connector 18 in

Product Description

The CROWN INDUSTRIES CSC0618 is a stainless steel flexible connector designed for water heater installations. It provides a durable, corrosion-resistant link between the water heater inlet or outlet and the supply or distribution piping. At 18 inches in length, it accommodates standard residential and light commercial water heater rough-in configurations. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of connector to meet code requirements for flexible connections at water heating equipment, particularly in seismic zones or wherever rigid piping is impractical.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial water heater applications. It is typically installed at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet ports of tank-style water heaters. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems where corrosion resistance and longevity are required. It is installed by licensed plumbers during new construction, water heater replacement, or system retrofits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments. Shut off the cold water supply and drain the system before disconnecting or replacing the connector. Do not over-tighten fittings, as this can damage the connector ends or sealing surfaces. Inspect the mating threads and fittings for wear or corrosion before completing the installation.
