Eastman 30 Inch FIP Flexible Faucet Connector, 1/2 x 1/2 In. FIP, Reinforced PVC Supply Line with Nickel-Plated Brass Nuts, 48904

My water heater had failed and it was in a hard to access area. These hoses made connecting the new water heater super easy, and sealed with no extra effort. From now on, these will be my "go-to" for connecting water heaters. Good product.

Worked as needed

Great for pipes not aligned

For the price you can't beat it fast shipping.

Thread perfect, white color more attractiv than stainless (which can indeed slightly discolor/ slight surface rust as Chinese SS is cheaply produced. This rubber like coating prevents all that.

Fit my expectations and after checking for operation it held water and didn’t leak.

Works as it should.

The fittings are shorter in depth than the ones I removed from years ago, was a PITA to force them on and required a trip to ACE Hardware to make something that worked.
