Flexible connection hose INVENA GW/GW 3/8" x 3/8" (WS-03-020) is a sealed plumbing supply line intended for joining fixtures and supply points with 3/8" female threaded connections. Designed by INVENA for compact installations, the hose creates a watertight link between valves, mixers and appliances and the building water supply, suitable for both residential and commercial use where space-efficient, threaded 3/8" connections are required.
Advantages
The hose offers a flexible, corrosion-resistant connection that simplifies installation in confined spaces and reduces stress on fittings. Its construction ensures a secure seal to minimize the risk of leaks, while the compatible 3/8" female threaded ends provide straightforward attachment to standard valves and mixers. The flexible design accommodates slight misalignment and enables easier maintenance or replacement of fixtures without extensive plumbing modifications.
Suitable for
- Connecting bathroom and kitchen faucets with 3/8" female threaded outlets
- Linking shut-off valves to mixers and appliances
- Use in compact or concealed installation spaces where flexibility is needed
- Residential and light commercial plumbing applications
Key specifications
- Connection type: female-to-female threaded 3/8"
- Function: flexible supply hose for water connections
- Application: indoor plumbing for fixtures, valves and appliances
- Design: flexible hose construction to accommodate alignment and movement
- Compatibility: standard 3/8" threaded fittings commonly used on valves and mixers
How to use
Ensure water supply is turned off before starting installation. Verify that both mating fittings are standard 3/8" female threads and are clean and free of debris. Hand-start the hose fittings onto the corresponding male threads, then tighten using an appropriate wrench until a snug, leak-free connection is achieved—avoid over-tightening. After installation, restore water supply and inspect the joints for leaks; if necessary, tighten slightly to stop any minor seepage. For replacement, remove the old hose by loosening the connections and install the new hose following the same procedure.
Usage recommendations
Use appropriate sealing practices recommended for threaded plumbing connections, check compatibility with the system’s water pressure and temperature ranges, and inspect the hose periodically for wear or damage. If installation requires access to potable water systems, follow local plumbing codes and consider professional installation for complex configurations.
