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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches FIP x 3\/4 inches MIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\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: 7213-18-34-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524632641842,"sku":"7213-18-34-7","price":181.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0b1b6ff1b16d5baa3856e0ca018755bd.jpg?v=1785453579","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/homewerks-7213-18-34-7-water-heater-connector-18in-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
