Eastman 65446LF 3/4" FHT x 3/8" Compression Lead-Free Supply Connector

Eastman 65446LF 3/4" FHT x 3/8" Compression Lead-Free Supply Connector

The Eastman 65446LF is a lead-free supply connector built for rough-in and behind-the-wall plumbing tie-ins where a 3/4" FHT (female hose thread) connection needs to transition to a 3/8" compression fitting. This configuration is commonly used by plumbers and contractors to adapt a hose-threaded supply source, such as a washing machine or utility valve outlet, down to 3/8" compression tubing for connection to a fixture, ice maker, or supply stop. As a lead-free component, the 65446LF is manufactured for use in potable water supply applications where lead-free construction is required, giving installers a single fitting that bridges two common but different connection standards found in rough-in supply work.

Key Features

• Connection Sizes: 3/4" FHT (female hose thread) on one end and 3/8" compression on the other, sized for direct adaptation between hose-threaded supplies and compression-fitted tubing runs.
• Lead-Free Construction: Manufactured to lead-free standards, making it suitable for potable water supply connections where lead-free fittings are specified.
• Dual Connection Types: Combines a female hose thread (FHT) connection with a compression (COMP) connection in a single fitting, eliminating the need for a separate adapter when transitioning between these two connection styles.
• Rough-In Application: Designed for behind-the-wall and under-fixture plumbing installations, commonly used to connect supply lines to washing machine outlets, ice makers, or other appliance and fixture supply points.
• Compact Fitting Profile: Sized to fit within tight rough-in spaces typical of appliance supply boxes and under-sink or behind-appliance installations.
• Direct Thread Engagement: The 3/4" FHT end threads directly onto standard hose-threaded supply valves and outlets without additional hardware.
