PROCURU 3/4 in FIP x 72 in Water Heater Flex Connector - 2 Pack

In this review of the PROCURU 2-pack 3/4 in FIP x 72 in stainless steel water heater flex connectors, the bottom line is simple: these hoses are best for plumbers and homeowners who need a long, durable, lead-free connection for water heaters or tankless units. The reviewer found the tubing's stainless steel construction and compliance with lead free laws to be the single biggest reasons to choose it, since those traits deliver potable-water safety and professional-grade durability for several common installation scenarios.

Key Features

• Length and reach: The 72 in length provides extended reach for installations where the supply valves sit well away from the heater, reducing the need for awkward fittings.
• Safe for potable water: Certified to AB-1953 and NSF61, the hose is compliant with lead free laws so it can be used on drinking water systems without added health risk concerns.
• Stainless steel construction: Built from stainless steel 304 corrugated tubing to resist corrosion and provide a professional feel compared with braided alternatives.
• Standard connections: The 3/4 in FIP x 3/4 in FIP swivel nut ends make it compatible with common water heater and tankless heater fittings for straightforward connections.
• Warranty support: Backed by a 10 year warranty, offering peace of mind for long term installations and signaling manufacturer confidence in durability.
• Professional grade: Manufactured in ISO approved facilities and tested for performance, making it suitable for tradespeople who need reliable parts on the job.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at plumbing professionals, handymen and competent DIY homeowners who need a long, safe connector for hot or cold water supplies on water heaters, tankless heaters, or water softeners. Its 72 in length and 3/4 in FIP swivel ends work well where standard short connectors are too limited.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who require ultra-flexible hoses for tight bends or who prefer braided hoses with a flexible polymer inner liner; some users report the flex is mixed and may feel a little stiff for very tight routing, so a different style may be better in cramped installations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lead free certifications and NSF61 compliance make it safe for potable water systems.
• Long 72 in length reduces the need for additional fittings and simplifies routing.
• Stainless steel 304 corrugated tubing feels robust and resists corrosion over time.
• 10 year warranty provides long term reassurance for residential and commercial installs.

Cons

• Flexibility receives mixed feedback; some installers find it a little stiff compared with braided hoses with an inner liner.
• One isolated report noted a flimsy feel and lack of interior lining, so quality perception can vary by unit.
