It features a 3\/4 inches Female Iron Pipe (FIP) inlet on one end and a 7\/8 inches copper sweat outlet on the other, spanning 18 inches in length. Built from stainless steel corrugated flex construction, it handles a working pressure of 250 psi, making it suitable for standard residential and light commercial domestic hot water supply applications. Plumbers and water heater installers use this connector to bridge the supply shutoff valve to the water heater inlet with a flexible, vibration-tolerant run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is used in residential and light commercial water heater installations where the supply line terminates in a 3\/4 inches FIP fitting and the water heater cold inlet stub is sized for a 7\/8 inches copper sweat connection. The 18 inches length provides enough slack to accommodate minor misalignment between the shutoff valve and the heater inlet, and the corrugated stainless steel body resists corrosion in damp mechanical room environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers during new water heater installations and replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrugated stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles flex without cracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inches FIP inlet connects directly to standard 3\/4 inches threaded shutoff valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/8 inches copper sweat outlet fits standard residential water heater cold inlet stubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 inches length accommodates typical water heater installation clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 250 psi working pressure for standard domestic water supply systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement flexible connector for residential and light commercial water heater installations requiring a 3\/4 inches FIP x 7\/8 inches copper sweat connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the cold water supply and relieve system pressure before disconnecting or installing any water line connector. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FIP threaded connection and use a proper sweat soldering technique on the copper sweat end per IPC guidelines. Do not overtighten the FIP connection or exceed the rated working pressure of 250 psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corrugated Flexible Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FIP x Copper Sweat (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFIP Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FALCON STAINLESS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: FAL-SWTF-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FALCON STAINLESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383614996786,"sku":"FAL-SWTF-18","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312670359.jpg?v=1782602229","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/falcon-stainless-fal-swtf-18-water-heater-connector-18in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
