Questions about this item

Which length should I pick for my water heater hookup?

The braided stainless steel connectors come in 12 in. and 24 in. versions without a ball valve; choose the length that spans the gap between the tank nipples and your supply pipes.

What does the 3/4 in. Push-To-Connect end actually do on the job?

After taping the tank threads, you thread the FNPT nut onto the heater and then push the Tectite by Apollo end onto copper, PEX, or CPVC pipe for a tool-free seal.

What limits does the 3/4 in. Female Pipe Thread connection impose?

The FNPT end mates with standard 3/4 in. male pipe threads on the water heater, so the connector’s flow capacity is governed by that nominal pipe size.
