Fluidmaster Inc 1FV36 Vinyl Braided Faucet Connector 36 in

Product Description

The FLUIDMASTER INC 1FV36 is a 36-inch reinforced vinyl braided faucet connector designed for residential plumbing supply line applications. It features a 3/8-inch compression inlet and a 1/2-inch FIP (female iron pipe) outlet, making it suitable for connecting faucets to standard shut-off valves under sinks and lavatories. The vinyl braid reinforcement adds flexibility and durability compared to non-reinforced supply lines. This connector is typically installed by licensed plumbers or knowledgeable DIYers during faucet replacement, bathroom remodels, or kitchen sink installations.

This faucet connector is suited for residential sink and lavatory supply line runs where a 36-inch flexible hose is needed to bridge the distance between the shut-off valve and the faucet inlet. The 3/8-inch compression fitting connects directly to standard angle stop valves, while the 1/2-inch FIP end threads onto most standard faucet shanks. Its flexible construction simplifies routing in tight under-sink cabinet spaces. Sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for multi-fixture jobs or contractor stocking.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply at the angle stop valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting or connecting supply lines. Hand-tighten the compression fitting first, then snug with an adjustable wrench — avoid over-tightening, which can crack compression seats or strip fittings. Check all connections for leaks after restoring water supply.
