SharkBite 3/4 in. FIP x 18 in. Stainless Steel Flexible Water Heater Connector

The SharkBite Max braided flexible water heater connector provides a reliable solution for working in tight spaces and easily connecting water heaters with existing pipes that do not line up. Approved for use on electric or gas water heaters with a flue vent, this flexible supply line simplifies installation and reduces unnecessary fittings. Featuring an innovative push-to-connect design on one end and female iron pipe thread on the other, it connects directly to PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, or HDPE SDR-9 pipe in any combination. The durable braided stainless steel casing and lead-free brass construction ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance and high-pressure performance without requiring special tools, crimping, soldering, or glue.
