Stainless Braided Construction
The flexible connector is protected by 304 stainless steel wire braiding surrounding poly vinyl chloride tubing. This construction provides flexibility for routing between the water-supply valve and toilet tank connection while helping protect the inner tubing.
A brass barb, EPDM rubber gaskets, and brass/plastic ballcock nut assembly complete the connector for compatible toilet tank 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" Plastic Nut Connection
The opposite end uses a 7/8" connection with plastic nut for attachment to a compatible toilet tank ballcock or fill-valve connection.
Available Connector Lengths
- 12" - SKU 163012-NL
- 16" - SKU 163016-NL
- 20" - SKU 163020-NL
All three variants use the same 3/8" Compression x 7/8" Plastic Nut connection configuration. Select the connector 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.
Operating Pressure
This toilet tank connector is rated for an operating pressure up to 150 PSI. Confirm that the plumbing system pressure is within the specified rating before installation.
