SS7245R — 3/4 in x 3/4 in x 18 in Water Heater Connector

The SS7245R Water Heater Connector is designed to provide a durable, flexible, and reliable connection between a water heater and the home’s plumbing system. Built from corrosion‑resistant stainless steel, this connector ensures long service life while maintaining the flexibility needed for quick and trouble‑free installation. The 18‑inch length is ideal for most residential water heater installations, offering enough reach to accommodate minor misalignments between supply lines and tank fittings.

Constructed with a reinforced inner core and protected by a stainless‑steel braided or corrugated exterior (depending on manufacturer variant), this connector resists kinking, crimping, and deformation under water pressure. Its standard 3/4‑inch FIP (female‑iron‑pipe) connections make it compatible with nearly all water heaters on the market.
