Homewerks 7213-12-34-7 Water Heater Connector 12 in Ss

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 7213-12-34-7 is a braided stainless steel water heater connector designed for residential and light commercial water heater installations. Measuring 12 inches in length, it features a 3/4-inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) inlet and a 3/4-inch Male Iron Pipe (MIP) outlet. The stainless steel braid provides durability and resistance to corrosion and kinking. This connector is certified lead free in compliance with federal safe drinking water requirements, making it suitable for potable water systems. Plumbers and water heater installers rely on this type of connector for fast, reliable supply-line hookups.

This connector is used to join a water heater's inlet and outlet ports to the home's supply and return lines. The flexible braided construction allows for minor misalignment between pipe stubs and heater connections, simplifying installation in tight utility closets, alcoves, and mechanical rooms. It is appropriate for both tank-style and tankless water heater applications where 3/4-inch threaded connections are specified. The lead free certification satisfies requirements in jurisdictions that have adopted updated federal safe drinking water standards.

Key Features

• Braided stainless steel construction resists corrosion, kinking, and abrasion
• 3/4-inch FIP x 3/4-inch MIP threaded end connections for standard water heater ports
• 12-inch length accommodates typical offset distances between supply lines and heater connections
• Lead free certified to federal safe drinking water law
• Flexible design allows minor positional adjustment during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for residential and light commercial water heaters with 3/4-inch threaded supply and return connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing connectors. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to all male threads before making connections, and hand-tighten first before using a wrench to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque the fittings, and inspect for leaks after restoring water pressure.
