1st, 2014 require plumbing products that come in contact with drinking water to be "essentially lead free" (less than 0.25% weighted average). What does that have to do with plumbing products and how does the new lead-free legislation affect me?"Ī. "I'm hearing a lot about lead-free these days.
These are all top quality flexible connectors. The corrugated stainless steel flexes offered on this page have a 200psi working pressure, well in excess of the maximum building water pressure allowed by most codes, which is 80psi. "What are the pressure ratings on these?"Ī. There is less corrosion build up at the point of connection using stainless steel, than is seen when a copper adapter fitting is attached to a galvanized nipple or fitting. The alloy materials don't prevent the results of dielectric action, they just spread it over a greater area. The more non-corrosive the alloy components (stainless for example has nickel - a very non corrosive metal) and the wider the electrical potentials of the components of the alloy, the less dielectric problem there seems to be. The electrical characteristics of alloys seem to make them a bit less prone to dielectric action than pure metals such as copper or iron. Stainless (like brass) is an alloy metal. Using stainless steel connectors can be somewhat helpful. "What about electrolysis and stainless steel?"Ī.
Baring unforeseen circumstances, we can get them quickly. If you need 100 of a 1 1/2" commercial stainless flex we might not be able to fill the entire order immediately. On all but the commercial flexes it is rare that we can't fill orders 100%. "I need 100 of one size, how is your inventory on these stainless flexes?"Ī. The Mega-Flow SUPER Water-flexes are designed for a one-time installation. If you need to remove the line and reinstall it you can do so without affecting the steel. The Mega Flow ULTRA Flexes have a tighter bending radius and can be flexed and re-flexed for multiple installations. "What is the difference between the Mega-Flow Super Water-flex and the Mega Flow Ultra Flex?"Ī. Volume pricing will appear in your shopping cart. On an order of 10, 25 or 50 of the same item we offer discount pricing. "Do you offer volume discounts on these?"Ī. Easy to install, durable and the prices aren't much different than the old type of copper flexes. Yes, the above 3/4" Stainless connectors are designed for water heaters and, we think that once you have used our deluxe full-flow, corrugated stainless water heater connectors you won't want to go back to using copper ones. Stainless steel is a far better metal to use between copper, galvanized or non-metal piping and a steel tank. Are the 3/4" Fips Stainless connectors as good?"Ī. "I'm used to using copper connectors on my water heater. Thread sealant can prevent the female nut from tightening all the way causing the washer not to seal. Water flex connectors with FIPS nuts come with EDPM rubber washers used to seal against the end of the pipe.
Be sure not to use any Teflon ™(PTFE) thread sealing tape or pipe dope when connecting two flexes using these fittings. You can easily connect these stainless steel flexes together by using brass or stainless steel regular "close" nipples, which can be purchased here. "I'd like longer stainless flexes than you show.
