Fluidmaster 3/4 x 3/4 x 12 Inch Water Heater Connector - Stainless Steel

The Fluidmaster 3/4 x 3/4 x 12 Inch Water Heater Connector - Stainless Steel is a flexible braided stainless water heater connector for joining 3/4-inch plumbing to a residential water heater. The 12-inch length determines how much offset or reach the connector can handle during installation.

This 12-inch version should be selected based on the distance between the rigid piping and the heater nipples. Fluidmaster NO-BURST connector listings highlight stainless reinforcement, chloramine-resistant polymer core construction, retained cone washers, and potable-water approvals.

Product Features:

• Shortest Connector in This Group: 12-inch length is best for close, straight water heater hookups with minimal offset.
• NO-BURST Reinforcement: SupplyHouse notes Fluidmaster NO-BURST connectors use hundreds of feet of stainless wire reinforcement per foot.
• Chloramine-Resistant Core: Fluidmaster connector listings describe a tough polymer core that resists chlorine and chloramines.
• Captive Cone Washers: Sealing washers are retained in the connector so they do not fall out during installation.
• Tight-Space Bend Control: Short length reduces extra looped hose when piping aligns closely with tank nipples.
• 3/4-Inch FIP Connection: Matches common water heater hot and cold inlet/outlet connection sizes.
• 10-Year Warranty Reference: Fluidmaster connector listings identify a 10-year warranty.
