Flexible water connector hose Famas model FPWR-08AN-0035, 1/2" threaded, extendable length 350–700 mm

Flexible water connector hose Famas model FPWR-08AN-0035 is a dual-ended 1/2" threaded flexible hose designed for connecting taps, mixers and plumbing fixtures. The hose extends from 350 mm up to 700 mm, allowing adaptable installation in constrained spaces and enabling replacement of rigid connectors without altering existing pipe runs. Constructed for domestic water supply applications, it provides vibration absorption and a compact solution for short runs between supply outlets and fixtures.

Advantages

This flexible connector offers an extendable length that simplifies alignment between water outlets and fixtures, reducing the need for precise measurements. The 1/2" threaded ends are compatible with standard tap and mixer fittings, facilitating straightforward installation. Its flexibility helps absorb minor vibrations and movements, which can decrease stress on fittings and reduce noise. The compact, extendable design eases work in tight or recessed installation locations.

Suitable for

• Connecting kitchen or bathroom taps and mixers to supply lines
• Replacing rigid pipes or connectors in household water systems
• Installation where adjustable length is required to fit variable distances
• Applications requiring vibration damping and flexible routing in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Thread type and size: 1/2" threaded ends suitable for standard tap and mixer connections
• Length: extendable from 350 mm to 700 mm
• Use: potable water supply for household plumbing
• Function: flexible coupling with vibration absorption properties
• Design: dual-ended flexible hose for compact routing in tight spaces

How to use

Confirm compatibility of the 1/2" threaded ends with the existing fixtures before installation. Shut off the water supply and relieve pressure by opening a downstream tap. Thread the hose ends onto the fixture and supply outlet by hand, then tighten with an appropriate wrench without over-torquing to avoid damaging threads. Extend the hose to the required length within its 350–700 mm range and position it to avoid sharp bends or kinks. After fitting, restore water supply and check all connections for leaks; re-tighten if a minor adjustment is needed.

Usage recommendations

Use the hose within its specified extension range and avoid permanent stretching beyond 700 mm. Inspect connections periodically for signs of wear or leakage, particularly at threaded joints. When installing in concealed or hard-to-reach locations, ensure there is adequate access for future inspection and replacement. Replace the flexible connector if any damage, corrosion, or persistent leakage is observed.
