Supco 3805ffss Ss Inlet Hose 3/8 Inch X 5 Ft Fem/fem

Product Description

The SUPCO 3805ffss is a stainless steel braided inlet hose designed to transfer water from a supply line to an appliance inlet port. The hose measures 0.375 inches in inner diameter and 5 feet in length, terminated at both ends with female threaded fittings. This configuration allows direct connection between the water supply valve and the inlet valve assembly on a connected appliance. The reinforced flexible conduit accommodates routing between fixed installation points while maintaining a sealed, continuous flow path. Typically installed by plumbers or appliance service technicians during new installs or hose replacement service calls.

This inlet hose is suited for residential water supply applications where a flexible, corrosion-resistant connection is required between the supply line and an appliance. Common install scenarios include washing machines, dishwashers, ice makers, and similar appliances that require a threaded female-to-female hose connection. The braided stainless steel construction provides resistance to kinking, bursting, and abrasion in tight utility spaces. Its flexibility allows routing around cabinetry and wall framing without compromising connection integrity at either fitting end.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified appliance technician. Shut off the water supply at the main or local stop valve before disconnecting or connecting any supply hose. Hand-tighten fittings first, then snug with an appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten, as this can crack fitting seats. Inspect washers or seals at each fitting end before installation and replace if worn or missing to ensure a leak-free connection.
