Homewerks 7213-18-34-7 Water Heater Connector 18in Ss

Product Description

The Homewerks Worldwide LLC 7213-18-34-7 is a braided stainless steel water heater connector designed to link a water heater to residential supply lines. It measures 18 inches in length with 3/4-inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) inlet and 3/4-inch Male Iron Pipe (MIP) outlet connections. The flexible stainless steel braid provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress at the connection points. Certified lead free in compliance with federal Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, this connector is suited for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and qualified installers typically use this fitting during water heater installation or replacement.

This connector is intended for residential water heater installations where a flexible, corrosion-resistant supply line is required between the unit and the hot or cold water supply stub-out. The 18-inch length accommodates standard rough-in offsets commonly found in residential utility closets, garages, and mechanical rooms. The 3/4-inch FIP x MIP configuration matches the threaded ports on most residential tank-style water heaters and standard copper or iron supply stubs.

Key Features

• Braided stainless steel construction resists corrosion and provides flexible service life
• 18-inch length suits standard residential water heater rough-in clearances
• 3/4-inch FIP x 3/4-inch MIP threaded ends for direct connection to supply lines and heater ports
• Lead free certified in compliance with federal drinking water regulations
• Flexible design reduces stress on rigid supply connections during minor movement or vibration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for residential tank-style water heaters with 3/4-inch threaded inlet and outlet ports accepting standard FIP and MIP fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disconnecting or installing any water heater supply connector. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to all threaded connections and hand-tighten before final torque with a wrench. Do not over-bend or kink the braided connector during installation, as doing so can compromise the inner liner and cause premature failure.
