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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-to-Connect x FIP connection eliminates soldering at the heater supply inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrugated stainless steel body flexes to accommodate pipe misalignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 200 psi and 180 degrees F for water heater supply service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass and stainless steel construction meets NSF and ANSI requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproved for use on both electric and gas water heaters with flue vents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24-inch length provides flexibility in tight mechanical spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproved for use with electric and gas water heaters equipped with a flue vent.
