Falcon Stainless FAL-FF-24 Water Heater Connector 3/4 Fip 24in

Product Description

The FALCON STAINLESS FAL-FF-24 is a corrugated stainless steel flexible connector designed for residential and light commercial water heater installations. It measures 24 inches in length with a 3/4-inch inner diameter and features 3/4-inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) fittings on both ends. The corrugated stainless steel construction provides flexibility during installation and resists corrosion in potable water supply applications. Plumbers and water heater installers use this type of connector to make the final supply connection between a water heater and the building's hot or cold water piping.

This connector is suited for water heater rough-in scenarios where the supply stub-out and water heater inlet are not perfectly aligned. The 24-inch length provides enough working slack to accommodate minor offsets and thermal expansion. The FIP x FIP configuration threads directly onto standard 3/4-inch male-threaded fittings, which are common on both tank-style and tankless water heater units. It is appropriate for residential potable water service where a flexible stainless steel connector is required by local plumbing code.

Key Features

• Corrugated stainless steel construction resists corrosion in potable water service
• 24-inch length provides installation flexibility for offset connections
• 3/4-inch FIP on both ends threads onto standard male-threaded fittings
• 3/4-inch inner diameter supports full flow for water heater supply lines
• Flexible design absorbs minor misalignment between supply piping and heater inlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for residential and light commercial water heaters with 3/4-inch male-threaded supply inlets and outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the cold water supply and drain the system before removing any existing connectors. Use thread sealant tape or pipe compound rated for potable water on all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten the FIP fittings, as over-torquing can crack the connector's end fittings.
