Falcon 3/4" ID Corrugated Stainless Steel Flex Hose (for Water Heaters) - 3/4 FIP x 7/8" Copper Sleeve (sweat) x 18" - recommended for maximum water flow through 3/4" pipe. Great for most water heater connections. This hose is 3/4" ID with 3/4" FIP connector ("Female Iron Pipe"....ie, Female NPT) on on one end and a 7/8" copper sleeve on the other end for sweating to 3/4" copper pipe. Available in 3 different lengths - 15", 18", and 24".

Falcon hoses will not discolor, corrode or rust nor will they crimp or kink. Other features include.......

• 304 Series Corrugated Stainless Steel
• Full Port - no rubber or plastic hose or inserts to reduce flow
• Stronger and more flexible than copper
• Re-usable and Re-bendable
• Minimal deformity in Curvature...these hoses will hold a bend
• Burst pressure rated to 1850psi
• Re-Usable and Re-Bendable

** The fittings on the 3/4" FIP hoses can be tightened with an adjustable wrench or a 1 3/16" (30mm) open end wrench. Please do not use a pipe wrench. I personally like Facom's 70A series ratcheting flare wrench as this contacts the fitting on all 6 points and is less damaging to the chrome plating. This wrench retails for over $100 but is currently available at a 50+% savings.
