Homewerks Worldwide Llc 7228-16-38-2 Faucet Connector

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 7228-16-38-2 is a lead-free faucet supply connector designed for residential plumbing applications. It features a 3/8-inch compression inlet and a 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) outlet, with a flexible 16-inch reinforced poly vinyl chloride (PVC) body. The wetted surfaces that contact consumable water contain less than 0.25 percent lead by weight, meeting the AB1953 California and VT S152 Vermont low-lead restrictions. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this connector to link shutoff valves to faucet tailpieces under sinks and lavatories.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial faucet installations, including kitchen and bathroom sink supply connections. The 3/8-inch compression end attaches to standard angle stop or straight stop shutoff valves, while the 1/2-inch FIP end threads onto faucet inlet shanks. The 16-inch length accommodates typical under-sink rough-in distances. Its reinforced PVC construction provides flexibility during installation while maintaining durability under normal household water pressure.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation faucet connector for residential and light commercial sink faucets requiring a 3/8-inch compression by 1/2-inch FIP supply line connection.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified DIYer should shut off the water supply at the angle stop or main shutoff and relieve line pressure before removing the existing connector. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the valve stem, then snug with a wrench — avoid overtightening, which can crack the compression fitting. The FIP end should be threaded onto the faucet shank with plumber's tape applied to the male threads. After installation, slowly restore supply pressure and inspect both connections for leaks before closing the cabinet.
