Flexible braided steel connector FERRO PWS711 1/2" x 3/4" male-female L=30 cm

FERRO PWS711 flexible braided steel connector 1/2" x 3/4" male-female, length 30 cm, is a plumbing hose designed to provide a short, flexible link between fixtures, valves or pipes. The stainless-style steel braid offers mechanical protection and flexibility, allowing simple alignment during installation and helping to absorb vibration and minor movement in domestic and commercial water supply systems. The connector features a male 1/2" end and a female 3/4" end to accommodate common pipe and fixture threads.

Advantages

The braided steel covering increases durability and resists kinking while preserving hose flexibility. Compact 30 cm length makes it suitable for tight spaces and straightforward replacements. Male-to-female connection reduces the need for additional adapters when connecting to a range of valves and fixtures. Designed for potable water systems, the construction minimises risk of leaks when installed and tightened according to standard plumbing practice.

Suitable for

• Connecting faucets, mixing valves or shower fittings to supply lines
• Linking shut-off valves to fixtures in tight installation spaces
• Short flexible connections where vibration damping is required
• Replacement of worn or rigid supply hoses in bathrooms and kitchens

Key specifications

• Connection ends: male 1/2" and female 3/4"
• Length: 30 cm
• Flexible inner hose with external braided steel cover for mechanical protection
• Suitable for cold and hot water supply (domestic use)
• Corrosion-resistant external braid for improved lifetime in typical water environments

How to use

Shut off the water supply before installation. Ensure mating threads on valve and fixture are clean and undamaged. Hand-start the male and female connections to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to manufacturer torque recommendations or until a secure, leak-free fit is achieved using appropriate tools. After installation, turn the water back on and inspect all joints for leaks under pressure. Periodically check fittings and the braided cover for signs of wear or corrosion and replace the connector if damage is found.

Usage recommendations

Use this FERRO braided connector in standard plumbing applications only; avoid exposure to chemicals or fluids outside potable water systems and do not use the hose in permanent buried installations. When connecting dissimilar thread sizes or types, use correct adapters and sealing methods. Replace the connector every few years or sooner if any visual damage or leaks are observed.
