Homewerks Worldwide Llc 7213-18-34-1 Water Heater Connector

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 7213-18-34-1 is a braided stainless steel water heater connector designed to link a water heater to the supply line in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The connector measures 18 inches in length with 3/4 inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) threaded ends on both sides. The braided stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and physical damage in water heater closets, utility rooms, and mechanical spaces. It is lead free and certified to federal lead-free law requirements, making it compliant for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This connector is intended for use in water heater replacement and new installation projects where a flexible, corrosion-resistant supply line is required. The 18 inch length accommodates standard offset distances between a water heater inlet or outlet and a threaded supply or return stub-out. The 3/4 inch FIP connections on both ends are compatible with standard 3/4 inch male threaded water heater nipples and shutoff valve outlets commonly found in residential water heater installations.

Key Features

• 18 inch length suits typical water heater to supply line offsets
• 3/4 inch FIP x 3/4 inch FIP threaded connections on both ends
• Braided stainless steel construction resists corrosion and abrasion
• Lead free certified to federal lead-free law requirements for potable water use
• Flexible design simplifies alignment during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for residential water heaters with 3/4 inch male threaded inlet and outlet fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the cold water supply and fully drain the line before disconnecting or connecting fittings. Hand-tighten the FIP ends onto the male nipples, then use a wrench for a final quarter to half turn — do not overtighten, as over-torquing can damage the brass end fittings or the connector. Inspect for leaks at both connections after restoring water pressure.
