Flexible connector hose INVENA H/WS-02-080 — 1/2" (female) x 3/8" (female)

Flexible connector hose INVENA H/WS-02-080 — 1/2" (female) x 3/8" (female) is a braided plumbing hose intended for joining fixtures with differing thread sizes. It provides a flexible, compact connection between supply lines and devices such as faucets, mixers and shut-off valves. The design ensures a reliable water supply link in domestic and light commercial installations where a transition from 1/2" female to 3/8" female fittings is needed.

Advantages

The hose combines a flexible inner tube with an outer braided layer to resist kinking and external wear while maintaining flow. Its end fittings are compatible with common plumbing threads, simplifying installation without additional adapters in many cases. The compact length reduces excess bending in confined spaces and the flexible construction accommodates minor misalignment between fittings.

Suitable for

• Connecting bathroom and kitchen faucets to supply lines
• Linking mixers or tap valves to existing plumbing with different thread sizes
• Residential and light commercial plumbing repairs and renovations
• Tight spaces where a flexible, short connection is required

Key specifications

• Connection ends: 1/2" female to 3/8" female
• Flexible braided construction for durability and kink resistance
• Compact length suitable for confined installation areas
• Designed for potable water supply use in standard plumbing systems

How to use

Ensure water supply is turned off before disconnecting existing lines. Verify thread types on both the supply and fixture sides to confirm compatibility with the 1/2" female and 3/8" female ends. Hand-start each connection to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque using appropriate tools; avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to fittings. After installation, open the supply and check for leaks at both ends, tightening slightly if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the hose for visible wear, corrosion or leaks, especially after the first few days of use and during routine plumbing maintenance. Replace the flexible connector if any damage or persistent leakage is found. Use in indoor plumbing systems and avoid exposure to prolonged direct sunlight or external mechanical stress.
