Flexible braided stainless steel connector FERRO PWS74 1/2" x 3/4" straight, length 50 cm

Flexible braided stainless steel connector FERRO PWS74 1/2" x 3/4" straight, length 50 cm is a corrosion-resistant flexible hose intended for water supply installations. The product features stainless steel braid reinforcement over an inner tube and straight (NN) end fittings sized 1/2" and 3/4" with a total length of 50 cm. It is designed to provide a flexible link between fixtures, valves and pipework where slight misalignment, vibration isolation or compact routing is required.

Advantages

The stainless steel braid offers mechanical protection and improved resistance to abrasion and corrosion compared with plain hoses, while the flexible construction allows for easy alignment and connection in confined spaces. The straight end fittings simplify installation to standard threaded outlets and inlets. The 50 cm length reduces the need for additional adapters or extensions in typical domestic and light commercial plumbing setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting taps, faucets and sanitary fixtures to supply lines
• Linking ball valves, stop valves or service valves to piping
• Replacing rigid pipe segments where vibration damping is required
• Installing in compact or hard-to-reach locations where flexibility is needed

Key specifications

• Materials: stainless steel braided outer layer, inner flexible tube (suitable for potable water)
• Connection types: straight threaded ends
• Nominal connection sizes: 1/2" on one end and 3/4" on the other end
• Overall length: 50 cm
• Function: water supply flexible connector with vibration absorption and alignment capability

How to use

Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before replacing or installing the connector. Verify thread compatibility of the 1/2" and 3/4" straight male/female connections with the fixtures and valves to be joined. Hand-start the fittings to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with an appropriate wrench until secure; avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to fittings or seals. After installation, open the water supply and check all joints for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten progressively or reseal threads if required, then retest.

Usage recommendations

Use the connector only with potable water systems and in accordance with local plumbing regulations. Do not subject the hose to kinking, permanent bending with small radius, or abrasive contact with sharp edges. Inspect periodically for signs of wear or damage and replace if any deterioration is detected. For applications outside normal domestic water supply (e.g., special chemicals, high-temperature systems), consult specifications and choose an appropriate product.
