COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
Where to Use the Falcon 1 1/2" Flex Connector
Designed for residential and commercial potable water systems requiring full flow and flexible connections. Ideal for water treatment and softening systems (RO, UV, salt-based softeners from Culligan, Hague, Rayne, GE Autotrol, Fleck, Clack), tankless and storage-type water heaters (Takagi, Bosch, Noritz, Rheem, State), high-flow appliances, and control valve bypass installations. Chrome-plated solid brass fittings connect to standard 1 1/2" FIP ports. Satisfies UPC, IPC, IMC, IRC, and state/local code requirements including Wisconsin, LA City, and South Texas. Prevents appliance warranty voids caused by improper hard-pipe installations and accommodates settling of heavy equipment without damaging connections.
💧 Many appliance manufacturers require flexible connectors to maintain warranty coverage. Falcon's corrugated stainless design ensures full flow and prevents performance loss from restricted GPM, extending appliance life and meeting code in seismic zones.
