Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. 10-0966 is a 60-inch braided stainless steel flexible appliance and faucet connector with 3/8-inch compression fittings on both ends. It is designed for use in residential plumbing installations where a durable, flexible water supply line is required between a shutoff valve and an appliance. The braided stainless steel jacket provides resistance to kinking, bursting, and corrosion. This connector is California and Vermont lead free compliant, making it suitable for potable water applications where local codes require lead-free materials. Plumbers and plumbing contractors are the primary installers of this type of supply line.

This connector is commonly used for dishwasher hookups and similar appliance water supply connections in residential kitchens. The 3/8-inch compression-to-3/8-inch compression configuration fits standard shutoff valve outlets and appliance inlet fittings. At 60 inches in length, it provides enough reach for most under-sink to dishwasher installations. The product is carded with a hang tag for point-of-sale display and is sold in a package of 5 units, making it suitable for stocking at the supply house level or carrying multiple units for service calls.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply at the main or branch shutoff valve before disconnecting or replacing any supply line. Hand-tighten compression fittings first, then snug with a wrench do not overtighten, as this can crack compression seats or deform the fitting. Verify local code requirements for lead-free materials in potable water systems before installation, particularly in California and Vermont jurisdictions.
