It features 3\/4-inch female iron pipe (FIP) connections on both ends and a 24-inch flexible braided body. The connector is constructed of DZR brass fittings and includes an integral tube liner, making it compatible with SharkBite push-fit technology for use with copper, CPVC, and PEX tubing. Rated to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F, it delivers reliable performance in potable and hydronic water distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and water heater installers are the primary trade installing this fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for water heater supply connections in residential and light commercial applications. The push-fit end design works with copper tubing, CPVC, and PEX, eliminating the need for soldering or additional fittings on compatible pipe types. It is certified for underground applications as a manufactured joint, meaning no access panel is required. The 24-inch length provides ample flexibility for standard water heater rough-in configurations where some offset or alignment adjustment is needed between the supply stub-out and the heater inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free construction compliant with Federal Law 111-380\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 PSI and 200 degrees F for reliable water heater service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDZR brass fittings with stainless steel braided flexible body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegral tube liner included for use with SharkBite push-fit end connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, CPVC, and PEX tubing types\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCertified for underground applications as a manufactured joint — no access panel required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with copper tubing (copper tube size), CPVC, and PEX.
