Fluidmaster Inc 1W48 Dishwasher Connector Hose 48 in

Product Description

The FLUIDMASTER INC 1W48 is a 48-inch stainless steel dishwasher connector hose designed for residential water supply connections between a shutoff valve and a dishwasher inlet. It features a 3/8-inch compression fitting on one end and a 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) fitting on the other, providing a secure, leak-resistant connection without requiring soldering or specialty tools. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles typical household water pressure. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this hose during dishwasher installation or appliance replacement service calls.

This connector is suited for standard residential dishwasher installations where the supply shutoff valve has a 3/8-inch compression outlet and the dishwasher inlet is threaded 1/2-inch FIP. The 48-inch length accommodates typical under-sink cabinet depths and provides enough slack for routing around cabinetry or making service disconnects easier. It is a direct-fit solution for new dishwasher installations and appliance swap-outs.

Key Features

• 48-inch length provides routing flexibility in standard under-sink cabinet installations
• 3/8-inch compression x 1/2-inch FIP end fittings match common residential dishwasher supply configurations
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and physical damage
• No soldering required — compression fitting installs with standard hand tools
• Universal design suits a wide range of residential dishwasher models

Compatibility

Designed as a universal replacement or new-installation dishwasher supply hose for residential applications with a 3/8-inch compression shutoff outlet and a 1/2-inch FIP dishwasher inlet connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified appliance installer. Shut off the water supply at the main or local shutoff valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting any existing hose. Hand-tighten the compression fitting first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten the compression nut. Verify both end connections are leak-free under live pressure before closing the cabinet and returning the appliance to service.
