304 Stainless Steel Braided Construction
The flexible connector is protected by 304 stainless steel wire braiding surrounding the inner tubing. This construction allows practical routing between the water-supply valve and toilet tank while helping protect the hose from external wear.
EPDM rubber gaskets and brass connection components complete the assembly for compatible toilet tank water-supply installations.
Understanding the Connection Configuration
3/8" Compression Connection
One end provides a 3/8" compression connection for attachment to a compatible water-supply shutoff valve.
7/8" Brass Nut Connection
The opposite end uses a 7/8" brass nut connection for attachment to a compatible toilet tank ballcock or fill-valve connection.
Available Connector Lengths
- 12" - SKU 164012-NL
- 16" - SKU 164016-NL
- 20" - SKU 164020-NL
All three variants use the same 3/8" Compression x 7/8" Brass Nut connection configuration. Select the length that best matches the required installation distance.
Choosing the Correct Length
Measure the routing distance between the water-supply valve and toilet tank before selecting a connector. Choose a length that provides adequate reach without stretching the hose or creating excessive bends or unnecessary loops.
