Homewerks 7213-15-34-1 Water Heater Connector 3/4 Fip 15 in Ss

Product Description

The Homewerks Worldwide LLC 7213-15-34-1 is a braided stainless steel water heater connector designed to link a water heater to residential supply lines using standard 3/4 inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) fittings on both ends. The connector measures 15 inches in length, providing enough flex to accommodate typical water heater rough-in configurations. It is certified lead free in compliance with federal drinking water regulations. Plumbers and plumbing contractors install this fitting during water heater replacement or new installation to create a flexible, corrosion-resistant connection between the heater's inlet and outlet ports and the copper or threaded supply and discharge lines.

This connector is suited for residential water heater installations where a flexible stainless steel line is preferred over rigid copper or CPVC stub-outs. The 15 inch length works well in standard utility closet and basement installations where some offset or vibration isolation is needed. The 3/4 inch FIP x 3/4 inch FIP configuration matches the threaded ports found on most residential tank-style water heaters. It is appropriate for both hot and cold side connections.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch FIP x 3/4 inch FIP fittings on both ends for direct connection to standard water heater ports
• 15 inch flexible length accommodates typical water heater rough-in offsets
• Braided stainless steel construction resists corrosion and kinking
• Lead free certified in compliance with federal safe drinking water law
• Flexible design provides vibration isolation between the heater and supply lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement flexible connector for residential tank-style water heaters with 3/4 inch threaded FIP inlet and outlet ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and allow the water heater to cool before disconnecting existing lines. Hand-tighten the FIP fittings first, then use a wrench to snug — do not overtighten, as this can damage the fitting seats. Inspect for leaks at both connections after restoring water pressure.
