Value Collection 48251 Water Heater Supply Line 18in Fip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 48251 is a stainless steel water heater supply line designed to connect a water heater to the household supply piping. With 3/4 inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) connections on both the inlet and outlet, it provides a secure, leak-resistant fit on standard residential water heater installations. The 18 inch length suits most close-proximity heater hook-ups. Rated to 2500 psi maximum working pressure and tolerating temperatures down to 15 degrees F, this line handles both domestic hot and cold supply connections. Plumbers and plumbing contractors install this connector as part of new water heater installations or as a direct replacement of a worn or leaking supply line.

This supply line is suited for residential and light commercial water heater installations where 3/4 inch FIP threaded connections are required. The 18 inch flexible length accommodates typical rough-in clearances found in closet, utility room, and basement water heater installations. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in both hot and cold water supply applications, making it appropriate for tank-style water heaters in standard plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disconnecting any existing supply line. Apply thread sealant tape to all male FIP threads before making connections and hand-tighten before applying wrench pressure to avoid cross-threading. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for water heater installations.
