Homewerks 7228-12-38-4 Faucet Connector 3/8 X 12 in Lead Free

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 7228-12-38-4 is a lead-free faucet supply connector designed for residential plumbing installations. It features a Delta-style configuration with a 3/8-inch compression inlet on one end and a 3/8-inch OD fitting on the other, with an overall length of 12 inches. The flexible body is constructed from reinforced poly vinyl, providing durability and resistance to the kinking and pressure fluctuations common in under-sink supply line applications. The wetted surfaces of this connector contain less than 0.25 percent lead by weight, meeting current potable water safety standards. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this connector to link shutoff valves to faucet inlets.

This connector is suited for residential faucet installations where a 3/8-inch compression shutoff valve connects to a 3/8-inch OD faucet supply tube. The 12-inch length accommodates standard under-sink cabinet depths in kitchen and bathroom applications. Its Delta-style fitting profile makes it a common choice when servicing or replacing faucet supply lines in both new construction and retrofit work. The reinforced poly vinyl construction handles typical household water pressures without requiring additional braiding or armoring.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction — wetted surfaces contain less than 0.25 percent lead by weight
• Delta-style fitting design for compatibility with common shutoff valve and faucet configurations
• 3/8-inch compression inlet x 3/8-inch OD outlet x 12-inch length
• Reinforced poly vinyl body resists kinking and maintains flexibility during installation
• Meets AB1953 California and VT S152 Vermont low-lead restrictions for potable water systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement supply connector for residential faucets using a 3/8-inch compression shutoff valve and a 3/8-inch OD faucet shank inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified DIYer. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting any existing supply lines. Hand-tighten the compression fitting first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as poly vinyl connectors can be damaged by excessive torque. Verify there are no leaks at both connection points after restoring water supply.
