Tectite 3/4 x 3/4 x 18 Inch Corrugated Stainless Steel Water Heater Connector

The Tectite 3/4 x 3/4 x 18 Inch Corrugated Stainless Steel Water Heater Connector is a corrugated stainless steel connector for potable water heater hookups. Unlike braided connectors, its corrugated tube body can be shaped to bridge moderate alignment differences between piping and the heater connection points.

This 18-inch Tectite connector is intended for service replacement or new installations using 3/4-inch water heater connections. The metallic body provides controlled flexibility while maintaining a durable water path.

Product Features:

• Corrugated Stainless Tube: Uses a formed stainless body instead of braided hose for controlled bend shaping.
• 18-Inch Connector Length: Mid-length reach supports modest pipe-to-heater offset without excess looping.
• 3/4"" x 3/4"" Water-Heater Ends: Connection format matches standard residential heater inlet and outlet sizing.
• Tectite Push-Fit System Family: Apollo/Tectite product family is associated with fast mechanical joining and service replacement.
• Metal Water Path: Corrugated metal construction provides a durable potable-water pathway.
• Bend-and-Hold Routing: Corrugations allow the connector to be shaped more deliberately than soft braided lines.
• Changeout Efficiency: Useful for water heater replacement where exact rigid-pipe alignment is not available.
