Homewerks Worldwide Llc 7223-16-12-1 Faucet Connector

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 7223-16-12-1 is a lead-free faucet connector designed for potable water supply connections at sinks, lavatories, and faucet installations. It features 1/2 inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) fittings on both ends and measures 16 inches in length, making it a standard fit for most residential faucet rough-in configurations. The connector is constructed from stainless steel and meets strict low-lead requirements, with wetted surfaces containing less than 0.25 percent lead by weight. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of connector during faucet replacements or new fixture installations.

This connector is suited for residential potable water supply lines where a flexible, corrosion-resistant braided connector is required between the shut-off valve and faucet inlet. The 1/2 inch FIP x 1/2 inch FIP configuration accommodates standard supply stop valves and faucet shanks. It is appropriate for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces where code compliance for lead content is required. This product is sold in bulk packaging of 25 units per package, making it practical for plumbing contractors stocking multiple jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified DIYers following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply at the main valve or dedicated stop valve and relieve line pressure before removing any existing connector. Hand-tighten the FIP fittings first, then use an adjustable wrench for a snug, leak-free connection — do not overtighten, as this can damage the ferrule or fittings. After installation, restore water supply slowly and inspect all connections for leaks before returning the fixture to service.
