Homewerks Worldwide Llc 7228-20-38-2 Faucet Connector

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 7228-20-38-2 is a lead-free faucet supply connector designed to link shut-off valves to faucet inlets in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. It measures 20 inches in length and transitions from a 3/8 inch compression fitting on one end to a 1/2 inch female iron pipe (FIP) thread on the other. The body is constructed from reinforced poly vinyl (PVC), providing flexibility and resistance to kinking during installation. The wetted surface of this connector contacted by consumable water contains less than 0.25 percent lead by weight, meeting current low-lead standards for potable water applications.

This connector is suited for under-sink faucet installations in kitchens and bathrooms where a 3/8 inch compression supply stop transitions to a 1/2 inch FIP faucet shank. The reinforced PVC construction allows for easier routing in tight cabinet spaces compared to rigid tubing. It is a common choice for licensed plumbers and skilled DIYers performing faucet replacements, new faucet installations, or supply line upgrades in residential settings.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or a qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Always shut off the water supply at the main or local stop valve and relieve line pressure before disconnecting any existing supply lines. Hand-tighten the compression fitting first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten, as this can crack the compression nut or distort the fitting seat. Inspect for leaks at both ends after restoring water pressure.
