Falcon Corrugated Stainless Steel Flexible Toilet Supply Hose - 9" - safer alternative to braided hose. Full port for maximum water flow. No plastic nuts or rubber tubing. 7/8" Brass Ballcock for connection to the bottom of the toilet tank and a 3/8" compression fit to the shutoff valve. Available in both 9" and 12" lengths.

Tools Required - The fitting on the compression end of this hose can be tightened with an adjustable wrench or a 11/16" (17mm) open end wrench. The connection to the toilet tank is "hand-tighten" only.
Additional Comments - Stainless steel braided hoses marketed online and in the big box stores as superior alternative to rubber hoses and rigid metal pipes. These hoses consist of a flexible rubber inner tubing surrounded with a stainless steel metal braided sleeve. Some have metal nuts, others are plastic. There's a fair amount of discussion online, and a few horror stories, about inspecting and replacing braided hoses far more frequently than I had assumed necessary. I will be replacing all of my braided stainless supply hoses with corrugated stainless this year.
Rector Seal has since purchased Falcon and I no longer see these hoses in their brochure. I'll be keeping a few for myself and have 1 of each size for sale.
