Flexible connection hose FERRO PWS85 steel braid 1/2" x 3/8" 60 cm nut-to-nut

Flexible connection hose FERRO PWS85 with steel braid, 60 cm length, nut-to-nut fittings 1/2" x 3/8" is designed for reliable water supply connections to faucets, mixers and plumbing fixtures. The steel braided outer layer increases mechanical protection and resistance to abrasion, while the internal flexible tube ensures smooth water flow and compensates for minor misalignments during installation. The nut-to-nut configuration provides a sealed threaded connection compatible with standard domestic plumbing threads.

Advantages

The steel braid exterior improves durability and guards against kinking and external damage. Flexible construction reduces stress on fixed pipes and fittings by absorbing vibrations and small movements. Standardized nut-to-nut fittings allow direct connection to most mixers and supply valves without additional adapters. The 60 cm length offers extended reach for installations where a longer hose is needed compared with typical short connectors.

Suitable for

• Connecting kitchen and bathroom faucets to supply valves
• Linking mixers and single-lever taps to water supply lines
• Domestic and light commercial plumbing installations
• Situations requiring vibration damping and slight alignment compensation

Key specifications

• Length: 60 cm
• Fittings: nut-to-nut
• Connection sizes: 1/2" x 3/8"
• Outer covering: steel braid
• Intended medium: potable water

How to use

Before installation, shut off the water supply and relieve pressure in the line. Inspect hose ends and mating threads for cleanliness and compatibility. Hand-thread both nuts onto their respective male threads, then tighten with an appropriate wrench until secure; avoid overtightening to prevent damage to fittings or seals. After installation, restore water supply and check for leaks at both connections. If any leak is detected, tighten slightly or re-seat the connection after drying and inspecting sealing surfaces.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid bending the hose sharply and keep it free from contact with sharp edges or high-temperature surfaces. Regularly inspect the hose and fittings for signs of abrasion, corrosion, or leakage and replace the hose if any damage is found. Use with potable water systems and follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance for pressure and temperature limits.
