Flexible connector hose INVENA WS-03-040 3/8" x 3/8" (GW/GW) for plumbing connections

Flexible connector hose INVENA WS-03-040 3/8" x 3/8" (GW/GW) is a braided plumbing hose designed to connect fixtures, taps, and valves with female threaded ports. The product provides a compact, flexible link that compensates for small misalignments and makes installation and replacement straightforward in both domestic and light commercial sanitary systems. The hose is intended for typical potable water supply applications where a short, reliable, and flexible connection is required.

Advantages

This flexible connector offers ease of installation due to its pliable body and standard 3/8" female threaded ends, reducing the need for precise alignment. Its construction ensures a secure water-tight connection and helps absorb vibration and minor movement, which reduces stress on fixtures and fittings. The hose's compact length and flexibility make it suitable for tight spaces behind sinks, basins, and appliances.

Suitable for

• Connecting faucets and mixer taps to water supply outlets with female threads
• Linking shut-off valves to plumbing fixtures in bathrooms and kitchens
• Short flexible runs in confined spaces where rigid piping is impractical
• Replacement of worn or damaged flexible connectors in residential and commercial sanitary installations

Key specifications

• Connection type: female thread to female thread
• Thread size: 3/8" x 3/8"
• Application: potable water supply for sanitary fixtures
• Design: braided flexible hose for minor alignment compensation
• Typical mounting location: behind sinks, basins, toilets, and for small appliances

How to use

Prior to installation, ensure the water supply is shut off and the threads on both mating parts are clean and undamaged. Hand-start the hose on each female threaded connection and tighten by turning until snug; then finish with an appropriate wrench if required, taking care not to overtighten. After installation, slowly restore water supply and check for leaks at both connections. If any leakage is detected, tighten slightly or reseat the hose connection as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use this flexible connector only within the intended pressure and temperature limits for standard potable water systems. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the hose and maintain enough bend radius to prevent stress. Inspect connections periodically and replace the hose if signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage appear. For installations where thread sealant or tape is normally applied to male threads, follow standard plumbing practice and manufacturer guidance for the mating fittings.
