Flexible Supply Hose FERRO PWS83, steel braid, female-female 1/2" x 3/8", length 40 cm

Flexible supply hose FERRO PWS83 with steel braid, female-to-female connections 1/2" x 3/8" and 40 cm length is designed to link faucets, valves and other plumbing fixtures to water supply lines. The product combines a flexible inner tube for uninterrupted water flow and a braided stainless-steel outer layer that provides mechanical protection and abrasion resistance while allowing the hose to be routed in confined spaces.

Advantages

The braided steel cover increases durability and resists kinking and external damage. Female-to-female fittings on opposite ends allow direct connection between standard threaded fixtures and supply outlets without additional adapters. The 40 cm length offers a compact solution for installations behind sinks, basins and cisterns where a measured, flexible connection is required. Materials and construction provide stable water flow and simplify installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Connecting kitchen and bathroom faucets to supply outlets
• Linking shut-off valves to fixtures in residential apartments and houses
• Use in commercial washrooms, service rooms and maintenance access areas
• Retrofitting or replacing existing flexible hoses in tight installation spaces

How to use

Shut off the relevant water supply before installation. Verify compatibility of thread sizes with the fixture and the supply outlet. Thread the female fittings by hand onto the male threads of the fixture and the stop valve, ensuring correct alignment to avoid cross-threading. Tighten the connections with an appropriate wrench until snug; avoid over-tightening which can damage fittings. After installation, open the supply and inspect connections for leaks; if necessary, tighten slightly or reseal threads according to the fixture manufacturer’s guidance.

Usage recommendations

Use in visible or concealed installations where a flexible, corrosion-resistant connection is required. Inspect periodically for external damage to the braid and for any signs of leakage. Replace the hose if damage, persistent leakage or significant wear is detected. For installations with elevated water temperatures or special water conditions, verify material compatibility and local plumbing codes prior to installation.
