Lsp Products Group WHC-118-PP Water Heater Connector

Product Description

The LSP PRODUCTS GROUP WHC-118-PP is a water heater connector designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. This connector transitions from a 3/4-inch male iron pipe (MIP) fitting to a 7/8-inch outside diameter (OD) tube end over an 18-inch flexible length. It provides a secure, leak-resistant connection between a water heater and the supply or outlet piping. Licensed plumbers and experienced plumbing installers handle this type of fitting as part of standard water heater service, replacement, or new installation work.

This connector is suited for hot and cold water supply connections on residential tank-style water heaters. The 18-inch length provides enough flexibility to accommodate minor misalignments between the water heater inlet or outlet and the existing supply lines, reducing stress on threaded connections. It is a common replacement component during water heater changeouts in residential settings where the original connectors have aged or corroded.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch MIP thread end for connection to standard water heater inlet or outlet ports
• 7/8-inch OD tube end for compatibility with corrugated or flexible supply lines
• 18-inch length allows flexibility and accommodates minor pipe misalignment
• Designed for residential water heater supply and outlet connection applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement connector for residential tank-style water heater installations requiring a 3/4-inch MIP to 7/8-inch OD flexible supply connection.

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 drain pressure from the system before disconnecting or installing any water heater connector. Apply thread sealant or plumber tape to all MIP threads before making connections. Do not overtighten fittings, and inspect for leaks after restoring water supply pressure.
