Supco 3806ffss Washer Inlet Hose Stainless Steel

Product Description

The SUPCO 3806ffss is a stainless steel washer inlet hose designed to supply water to residential and light-commercial washing machines. Constructed with a female-to-female fitting configuration, it connects the water supply valve to the washer inlet port. The hose measures 0.375 inches in inner diameter and 6 feet in length, providing enough reach for standard laundry room installations. The stainless steel braided construction resists corrosion, kinking, and pressure fluctuations common in residential water supply lines. Plumbers and appliance service technicians typically install this hose as a direct replacement or upgrade from rubber inlet hoses.

This inlet hose is suited for residential washing machine installations where a reliable, durable water supply connection is required. It is appropriate for both hot and cold water supply lines. The female-to-female end fittings are compatible with standard threaded washer inlet ports and shutoff valve outlets found in typical laundry room setups. Service professionals often specify stainless steel braided hoses over rubber alternatives in installations where longevity and burst resistance are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified appliance technician. Shut off the water supply valves completely before disconnecting or installing the hose. Hand-tighten the fittings first, then snug with pliers — do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or washers. Inspect the internal rubber washers at each fitting before installation and replace if worn or missing to prevent leaks.
