Flexible Connection Hose FERRO PWS811 steel braid, female-female 1/2" x 3/8", length 20 cm

Flexible connection hose FERRO PWS811 steel braid, female-female 1/2" x 3/8", length 20 cm is a stainless-steel braided flexible water connector designed for short runs in domestic plumbing. It provides a compact, vibration-resistant link between fixtures, valves and appliances, and is intended for use in potable water systems. The hose combines a resilient inner tube with an external steel braid for mechanical protection and a clean metallic appearance suitable for visible installations.

Advantages

The steel braided cover increases durability and protects the inner tube against abrasion and accidental impact. Female-to-female threaded ends allow quick connection to standard 1/2" and 3/8" fittings without additional adapters when matching connection sizes. At 20 cm length the hose fits confined spaces and reduces stress from slight misalignment or vibration, supporting leak-resistant connections when installed correctly.

Suitable for

• Connecting faucets, mixers and washbasin fittings to supply lines
• Linking shut-off valves to household appliances and fixtures
• Replacement of short damaged or aged flexible hoses in potable water circuits
• Installations in compact or under-sink spaces where a short flexible connection is required

Key specifications

• Connection type: female-to-female threaded ends
• End sizes: one 1/2" and one 3/8" threaded connection
• Overall length: 20 cm
• Outer cover: stainless-steel braided sheath for mechanical protection
• Intended medium: potable (drinking) water
• Design feature: flexible inner tube with braided reinforcement for vibration resistance

How to use

Before installation, isolate the water supply and drain the section of the system to avoid spills. Ensure mating threads and sealing surfaces are clean and compatible with the hose end sizes. Hand-start the threaded connections to avoid cross-threading, then tighten using suitable tools until secure; do not over-tighten metal fittings to prevent damage to threads or sealing elements. After installation, restore water supply and check all joints for leaks under pressure; re-tighten cautiously if minor seepage appears.

Usage recommendations

Use this hose in indoor potable water applications and avoid exposing it to sharply elevated temperatures or chemical agents outside normal household conditions. Inspect periodically for signs of wear, corrosion of fittings or damage to the braid, and replace the hose if any defect is found. Select hoses of appropriate length and matching thread sizes to ensure reliable, leak-free connections.
