Falcon Stainless FAL-SWC114-18 Flexible Softener Boiler Connector

Product Description

The Falcon Stainless FAL-SWC114-18 is a flexible water softener and boiler connector built for lead-free plumbing installations. It features female NPT (FNPT) connections on both the inlet and outlet, each sized at 1-1/4 inches, and an overall length of 18 inches. The connector uses a stainless steel core, stainless steel body, and stainless steel nuts throughout, making it well suited for potable water and hydronic heating applications where corrosion resistance and durability are required. Licensed plumbers install this type of connector during water softener changeouts and boiler supply or return piping connections.

This connector is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Common applications include connecting water softeners to supply lines and linking boilers to distribution piping where a flexible, vibration-absorbing connection is needed. The 18-inch length provides enough slack to accommodate minor misalignment between pipe stubs, reducing stress on fittings during and after installation. Its all-stainless construction meets lead-free requirements for systems carrying drinking water.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction suitable for potable water systems
• Flexible design absorbs vibration and accommodates minor pipe misalignment
• FNPT 1-1/4 inch connections on both inlet and outlet
• 18-inch overall length for versatile installation reach
• Full stainless steel construction: core, body, and nuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement connector for residential and light commercial water softener and boiler piping installations requiring 1-1/4 inch FNPT fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing the existing connector. Hand-tighten fittings first, then use a wrench to snug connections without over-torquing, which can damage threaded fittings. Inspect for leaks at both ends after restoring system pressure.
