Fluidmaster B1FV20 Faucet Supply Connector 20 in

Product Description

The Fluidmaster B1FV20 is a 20-inch reinforced vinyl braided faucet supply connector used to make the final water supply connection between a shutoff valve and a faucet body. It features a 3/8-inch compression inlet and a 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) outlet, making it a standard fitting for most residential faucet installations. The vinyl braid reinforcement adds burst resistance and helps the hose hold its shape during and after installation. Plumbers and plumbing contractors install this connector as a routine part of faucet replacements, new faucet installations, and fixture rough-in work.

This supply connector is suited for residential sink faucet installations, including kitchen and bathroom applications. The 20-inch length provides enough reach to accommodate typical under-sink cabinet depths and offset supply stop positions. The 3/8-inch compression end connects directly to a standard supply stop valve, while the 1/2-inch FIP end threads onto the faucet supply shank. This connector is sold in a package of 25 units, making it well suited for plumbing contractors stocking supplies for multiple service calls or new construction projects.

Key Features

• 20-inch length accommodates standard under-sink supply runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation supply connector for residential faucets requiring a 3/8-inch compression x 1/2-inch FIP connection with a 20-inch hose length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or experienced plumbing contractor. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve and relieve line pressure before removing the existing connector or making any connections. Hand-tighten the FIP end onto the faucet shank first, then snug the compression fitting at the stop valve using an adjustable wrench — do not overtighten, as vinyl-reinforced hoses can be damaged by excessive torque. Inspect both ends for leaks after restoring water pressure.
