Trade Grade 1/2″ x 1.5ft Stainless Steel Braided Flexible Tube

1/2″ x 1.5ft Flexible Connector

The Trade Grade Flexible Tube provides a high-pressure connection between fixed water supply lines and sanitary fixtures. This 450mm connector utilizes a 1/2-inch BSP thread standard for compatibility with most residential and commercial valves.

Built for the Job

Plumbers and facility managers rely on this braided connector for final hookups in tight spaces where rigid piping is impractical. The 1.5-foot length allows for a natural radius curve, which prevents kinking and maintains full bore flow to the fixture. This specific length is standard for vanity basins, toilet cisterns, and small water heaters. The braided exterior protects the internal EPDM liner from expansion and external abrasions during service life. Trade professionals use these in high-traffic commercial washrooms and residential kitchens due to their burst resistance and ease of installation.

• Connecting washbasin mixers to angle valves in bathroom vanities.

• Supplying water to toilet cisterns from wall-mounted stopcocks.

• Linking undersink water filtration units to the main cold water supply.

Product Highlights

SS304 Braided Shielding

The outer sleeve consists of high-density 304-grade stainless steel wire to prevent hose ruptures under pressure spikes.

Internal Composition

• EPDM inner core resists heat aging and prevents water tainting.
• Non-toxic material ensures safety for potable water applications.

Brass Hexagonal Nuts

Forged brass connectors offer superior thread integrity and resist corrosion in damp environments behind fixtures.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 1.5ft Stainless Steel Braided Hose with pre-fitted gaskets

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Tighten the brass nuts by hand first to avoid cross-threading on the valve.

• Use a wrench only for the final quarter turn to ensure a watertight seal against the gasket.

• Avoid over-bending this braided line; maintain a minimum bend radius of 30mm to prevent internal stress.

• Inspect the rubber washers before every installation to ensure they are seated flat within the nut.
