Sharkbite urss3088fx24 Water Heater Connector 24 in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE urss3088fx24 is a flexible corrugated water heater connector designed for residential water heater installations where pipe alignment is difficult or working space is limited. Built from brass and stainless steel, this lead-free connector combines a Push-to-Connect inlet with a 3/4-inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) outlet, allowing a plumber to make a secure connection without soldering or additional fittings. At 24 inches in length and rated to 200 psi and 180 degrees F, it handles the demands of standard tank-style water heater supply lines. The flexible stainless steel corrugated body accommodates minor offsets between the water heater inlet and the existing supply pipe.

This connector is suited for both electric and gas water heaters, including gas units equipped with a flue vent. It is intended for licensed plumbers and experienced tradespeople performing water heater replacements or new installations in residential settings. The Push-to-Connect end eliminates the need for soldering at the connection point, reducing install time and the number of joints in the line. It is particularly useful in utility closets, alcoves, and other confined spaces where rigid connectors or standard flex lines cannot be easily maneuvered.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where applicable.
