ARCO 280010 Flexible Hose Connector 3/8" SN x 3/8" M x 3/4" M

The ARCO 280010 flexible hose connector is a high-performance plumbing component engineered for secure and reliable water supply connections. Constructed from durable brass, this connector is designed to withstand demanding environments while maintaining structural integrity. Its versatile configuration, featuring 3/8" SN, 3/8" M, and 3/4" M connections, allows for seamless integration into various plumbing systems, ensuring a leak-proof seal and long-term operational stability.

Advantages

This flexible hose connector offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality brass construction, which resists corrosion and wear over time. The design facilitates a straightforward installation process, reducing the time and effort required for plumbing maintenance or new system setups. With a maximum pressure rating of 16 Bar and an operating temperature range up to 110°C, it provides robust performance in both residential and commercial water supply applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting water supply lines in residential plumbing systems
• Professional plumbing installations requiring specific thread compatibility
• Maintenance and repair of existing water distribution networks
• Commercial water supply setups within specified pressure and temperature limits

When it may not be suitable

This connector is not intended for use in systems exceeding the maximum pressure rating of 16 Bar or temperatures above 110°C. It should not be used with fluids other than water or in applications where the specific thread sizes of 3/8" and 3/4" are not compatible with the existing piping infrastructure.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connections: 3/8" SN, 3/8" M, 3/4" M
• Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 110°C
• Angle of tilt: 90°

How to use

To install the ARCO 280010, ensure the water supply is turned off and the pipes are depressurized. Clean the threads of the existing pipes to remove any debris. Align the connector with the corresponding pipe ends and tighten the connections manually, followed by a final adjustment with a suitable wrench to ensure a secure, leak-proof fit. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the threads or the internal seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 3/8" and 3/4" thread sizes match your existing plumbing requirements
• Ensure the operating environment does not exceed 16 Bar of pressure
• Check that the temperature of the water supply remains within the 0°C to 110°C range
• Confirm compatibility with your specific installation space and pipe layout

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or leaks, especially after initial installation. Ensure that the plumbing system is properly supported to prevent unnecessary mechanical stress on the connector.
