Flexible stainless-steel braided connection hose FERRO WBS14 3/8" long tail 50 cm

FERRO WBS14 is a flexible stainless-steel braided connection hose with a 3/8" threaded end and a long tail measuring 50 cm. Designed for water supply and plumbing installations, the hose combines a stainless-steel outer braid with an inner flexible tube to provide reliable fluid transfer, vibration damping and improved routing in confined spaces. The extended tail allows easier connection to fixtures and valves located deeper within installation cavities and supports standard fittings used in domestic and light commercial plumbing.

Advantages

The stainless-steel braid offers mechanical protection against abrasion and improves resistance to kinking compared with plain rubber hoses. The 3/8" threaded connection provides compatibility with many faucets, shut-off valves and fittings, while the 50 cm length increases installation flexibility and makes it easier to reach recessed connection points. The hose delivers vibration absorption and reduces stress on fittings, helping to maintain leak-free connections under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Connecting kitchen and bathroom faucets to water supply shut-off valves
• Linking appliances and fixtures where a longer tail is needed for routing
• Plumbing installations in tight or recessed spaces where flexibility and abrasion protection are required
• Replacing worn or rigid hoses in domestic water supply systems

Key specifications

• Material: stainless-steel braided outer layer with flexible inner tube
• Connection type: 3/8" threaded end
• Tail style: long tail (straight flexible end)
• Length: 50 cm
• Application: cold and hot water supply in residential and light commercial plumbing

How to use

Ensure water supply is shut off and the existing connection point is depressurised before installing the hose. Thread the 3/8" end onto the compatible fitting by hand, then tighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque or use a suitable wrench to secure the connection without over-tightening. Route the 50 cm tail through the installation space avoiding sharp bends and contact with abrasive edges. After installation, restore water supply and check for leaks at both ends. If any leakage is detected, stop the water, re-tighten the connection, and inspect sealing surfaces and washers.

Usage recommendations

Use the hose for potable water installations in accordance with local plumbing codes. Avoid exposure to chemicals or temperatures outside the product's intended range and replace the hose if visible damage, severe kinking or persistent leaks occur. When connecting to compression fittings or adapters, ensure the mating components are compatible with a 3/8" threaded stainless-steel braided hose.
