Homewerks Worldwide Llc 7211-18-34FIP-T Water Heater Connector

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 7211-18-34FIP-T is a corrugated copper water heater connector designed to join a water heater to the household supply lines using standard female iron pipe (FIP) fittings on both ends. The connector measures 18 inches in length and uses 3/4 inch FIP connections at each end. Constructed from corrugated copper, it provides flexibility during installation to accommodate minor misalignments between the water heater and supply stub-outs. It is certified lead free in compliance with federal law, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and knowledgeable installers use this fitting on residential water heater replacements and new installations.

This connector is intended for use on residential water heater installations where the supply and outlet connections require a flexible, corrosion-resistant link between the unit and the copper or threaded iron pipe supply lines. The 18 inch length provides enough slack to manage typical rough-in variations. The 3/4 inch FIP-to-FIP configuration is the standard size used on most residential tank-style water heaters. This fitting is appropriate for both hot and cold side connections on gas and electric water heaters in residential settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified installer in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and drain pressure from the lines before removing the existing connector. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to all male threaded fittings before making connections. Do not over-tighten FIP fittings, as this can crack the copper connector ends.
