Flextron FTWC-C34-18A 18" Long Connector for Water Heater with 3/4" FIP and 3/4" FIP Ends, Copper

Has been in service now for several years and absolutely no issues.

These connectors were exactly what I needed to build a heat exchanger for distilling water. While my ideal construction would have been for a continuous length of copper pipe, I was unable to find pipe of the appropriate diameter and length to be useful. Having purchased two of these connectors and linking them with a standard 3/4" male to male adapter, I was able to bend coils at each end and produce the exact shapes I needed. The ribbing on the sides of the pipe made bending it easier than it would have been otherwise, and the copper conducts heat well (as can be expected). I have no complaints about the customer service, either. My order was completed in a timely manner, with a pleasant follow-up email from the seller. Thank you!

Good

The interior diameter is not constricted. The ends seal easily. The copper material is closer galvanically than stainless steel to the brass fixture to which it is connected to minimize corrosion. It is certified for drinking water.

flexible and sturdy, I will let you knowhow long it lasts.....

These connectors have a longer straight flange than the ones I'm replacing. That portion is not bendable, which left these too short for my application. They're a bit more difficult to shape than the stainless steel ones I also ordered. I ended up using the stainless steel and they fit perfectly and don't leak! I also reviewed those.

! was expecting some cheap stuff when replacing my water heater, and had parts on hand in case. These worked perfect, no leaks at all. I was surprised that this whole water heater replacement went as well as it did. 4 months and still works perfect.

Both installed. I like these copper flex lines better than the SS flex covered lines. Those eventually leak. I hope these will last longer. All metal (copper) and no plastic liner to give out.I am happy with this purchase and would buy again.
