Description
An 18-inch Falcon flexible connector with a 1" John Guest quick-connect on one end and a Nelsen valve fitting on the other. Flex connectors simplify plumbing a control valve to house piping by absorbing minor misalignment and letting the valve be serviced without cutting pipe. This length bridges typical gaps between the valve and supply lines.
- Overall length: 18"
- End connections: 1" John Guest quick-connect and Nelsen valve fitting
- Flexible braided line for easy routing and alignment
- Quick-connect end speeds installation and future service
- Rectorseal-made connector for water treatment plumbing
- Lightweight at roughly 1 lb
Use this connector to tie a Nelsen control valve into 1-inch John Guest plumbing on the inlet or outlet side. Verify your valve accepts the Nelsen-style end and that your supply run uses 1" JG tubing. The flexible body allows a clean hookup even when the valve and pipe are slightly offset.
A Flexible Plumbing Link
The Falcon 18-inch Flex Connector bridges the gap between your household plumbing and a Nelsen control valve, with a John Guest quick-connect on one end and the matching Nelsen fitting on the other. Rigid pipe leaves no room for error when you are lining up ports, but a flexible connector absorbs small misalignments, dampens a bit of vibration, and makes the final hookup far easier. The push-to-connect end lets you seat the tube by hand without solvent or soldering, which turns a fiddly connection into a quick, clean one.
Where You Will Use It
Flex connectors like this one earn their keep during a new install or a valve swap, where getting the inlet and outlet to meet the house plumbing cleanly can otherwise mean cutting and refitting hard pipe. They are also the go-to fix when an old connector has stiffened, cracked, or begun to seep at a fitting. Having the correct connector on hand means you are not improvising the last eighteen inches of the job with mismatched parts.
Confirm the Fit
Because this connector is built for a specific quick-connect size on one side and a Nelsen valve on the other, matching it to your exact valve and tubing is what makes the difference. Send us your valve model and plumbing size and we will confirm it lines up before you buy. A connector that matches both ends turns the trickiest part of the hookup into the easiest. We pass along any documentation we have, and the Water Softener Plus team is glad to help you plan the connection so the install goes together without surprises.
