HoldRite QuickFlex 3/4 Inch FIP x 3/4 Inch FIP x 18 Inch Water Heater Connectors, QFC-7518

These are really nice. They look professional and flex. I had a pair of nylon types on my water heater before that broke down over time leaving 'black' water in my lines. The nylon lines were a bit more flexible, but these flex just fine. Solid fittings at the end and had no leak with clean connection and use of quality thick teflon tape. The box stores did not have these, but they should.

Was exactly what I needed and worked flawlessly (much better durability than what I had on my hot water heater.).

Perfect. This flexible water heater hose/pipe is electrically isolated, so works against corrosion at the heater or the the pipe junction. Be careful about other similar looking flexible connectors that are missing non-conducting plastic insulators at the connection ends.I have found that I prefer these corrugated stainless steel connectors to the braided variety, because during installation they can be formed into a shape that does not stress the joints or other plumbing components. The braided type wants to return to the straight and narrow, and puts pressure on the other components to come along.

Excellent quality hose that bends as needed. Using for water softener, and love the rigid but flexibility of these hoses.

I was in a bind and needed this ASAP. Paid almost $18 for this item less than a week ago. (Now listed at $9.99.) Flexibility is not great, and swivel points at hex require a very precise, extremely tight seal, or additional plumber's tape/putty. Any shift while connecting will unseat the interior seal. It's a passable product, but I don't recommend it at this price. Found same connector at Home Depot for $7.

Connect water softener. Works very good

Perfect fit and could tell it was made better then what I previously had which sprang a pin hole leak. Good price so bought two.

I purposely ordered these because the description said "Made in USA". The ones I received are labeled "Made in China". I just want to support America.

Worked very well. Easy to fit & thread into fittings. Put some "white" Locktight for easy removal/ disassembly if needed in future. No leaks, no kinks, no troubles. 100x better than those braided flexible hot water tank lines available at HOME DEPOT. In which the plastic liner on the discharge side of mine deterioted and had plastic flakes coming out of my bath faucet!..only 8 yrs old.

Worked perfect as a replacement for my old hoses which had rubber inside which was deteriorating and leaving black specks in our hot water.

We used these as a flow upgrade in a shower panel wall system, no internal rubber hose to deteriorate, extreme flow capabilities, flexible enough to make them work for this application

it did not suit my needs

Came in two separate packages four days apart. Items are ok but one was missing a rubber gasket. Had to take one out of my garden hose.
