SharkBite Max Water Heater Connection Kit are the fastest and easiest way to connect your water heater to existing pipes in your home. The kit includes a newly designed corrugated water heater connector with SharkBite Max connections, which delivers more strength and durability with a higher 400 PSI pressure rating. SharkBite Max connectors do not require a PEX tube liner and a re-engineered body allows you to insert the pipe using less force and greater ease. No soldering, clamps, unions, glue or special tools required. After inserting to pipe, stainless steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe tightly while a specially formulated O-ring compresses around the pipe to create a watertight seal. The durable corrugated stainless-steel hose is a great option for areas that require hard piping but is still flexible enough to connect to water lines in tight spaces that don't line up. Kit includes: 18 in. corrugated flexible connector, 18 in. corrugated flexible connector with Ball Valve and 3/4 in. disconnect clip.
