Shut off the water supply and fully drain pressure from the line before disconnecting the existing connector. Hand-tighten the FIP connection first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as this can damage the fitting seats. Inspect both end connections for leaks after restoring water pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches Female Iron Pipe (FIP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Braided Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes, certified to federal law\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 per unit of measure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Homewerks Worldwide LLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7213-18-34-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524447928626,"sku":"7213-18-34-2","price":184.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4b93a90e19ebf23a89e6e21a2d8687e2.jpg?v=1785449394","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/homewerks-7213-18-34-2-water-heater-connector-18-inches-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
