Homewerks Worldwide Llc 7228-16-12-1 Faucet Connector

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 7228-16-12-1 is a lead free faucet connector designed for potable water supply lines in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. It features a 1/2 inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) connection on each end and measures 16 inches in length. The flexible body is constructed from reinforced Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), providing durability and resistance to typical supply line pressures. The wetted surface of this connector contains less than 0.25% lead by weight, meeting the requirements of California AB1953 and Vermont S152 low lead restrictions. This connector is suitable for use anywhere a code-compliant, low lead supply connection is required.

This connector is used to link faucets, valves, and fixtures to standard 1/2 inch FIP threaded supply ports in residential kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces, as well as light commercial applications. The 16 inch length provides flexibility for installations where the supply stub-out and fixture inlet are not in close proximity. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of connector during faucet replacements, fixture upgrades, or new construction rough-in completions. It ships in bulk packaging of 25 units per package, making it practical for contractors stocking a service van or warehouse.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Always shut off the water supply at the nearest isolation valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting or installing supply connectors. Hand-tighten the FIP fittings first, then use an adjustable wrench for a snug fit — avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or damage sealing surfaces. Inspect for leaks at both connections after restoring water supply pressure.
