Midland Industries 923212 Ball Cock Connector 12 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 923212 is a lead-free supply connector designed to link the shutoff valve to the toilet fill valve (ball cock) in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The connector features a 3/8-inch compression inlet on one end and a 7/8-inch ballcock outlet on the other, spanning 12 inches in length. The braided stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and flexibility during routing, while heavy-duty brass inserts at both ends ensure a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection. At 0.17 pounds, it is lightweight and straightforward to handle during installation.

This connector is suited for toilet supply line applications where a 3/8-inch compression shutoff valve feeds a standard 7/8-inch ballcock or fill valve assembly. It is a common replacement or new-installation part used by licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers on residential toilets. The 12-inch length accommodates typical rough-in distances between the floor or wall shutoff and the tank fill valve fitting.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch compression x 7/8-inch ballcock end configuration for direct toilet supply line hookup
• Stainless steel braided body resists corrosion and handles normal water pressure flex without cracking
• Heavy-duty brass inserts at both connection ends for durable, thread-safe fittings
• Lead-free construction meets applicable plumbing code requirements for potable water contact
• 12-inch length suits standard residential toilet rough-in clearances

Compatibility

Designed as a lead-free OEM-style replacement supply connector for residential toilet installations using a 3/8-inch compression shutoff valve and a standard 7/8-inch ballcock or fill valve inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve and flush the toilet to relieve pressure before disconnecting the existing supply line. Hand-tighten the compression and ballcock nuts first, then snug with an adjustable wrench - avoid over-tightening, which can crack the ballcock shank. Inspect for leaks at both fittings after restoring water supply.
