Before You Start

Tap each item as you gather it — a couple of minutes of prep now saves a return later.

Tools You'll Need

  • Adjustable wrench or spanner (optional, only for removing a stuck old pipe)
  • Bucket or old towel (to catch residual water)
  • Torch/flashlight (optional, for tight under-sink spaces)

What's In The Box

  • 2 x Stainless Steel Connection Pipes (36 Inch)
  • 1/2 Inch NPT Fittings, Pre-Fitted at Both Ends
Verify before you start: Your existing fitting should be a standard 1/2 inch NPT connection. This pipe is 36 inches (915mm) long with a 22mm braid diameter — measure your installation space to confirm it fits comfortably without excessive slack or tension.
Installation

Step-by-Step Fitting

A hand-tight installation — no plumber required for most setups.

Nice work — all steps complete!

Your new JKC connection pipe is fitted and tested. You're all set for reliable hot and cold water supply.

Turn Off the Water Supply
~1 min
Locate the wall shut-off valve for the fixture you're working on and turn it clockwise until fully closed.
Place a Towel or Bucket Underneath
~1 min
Position a towel or small bucket beneath the connection point to catch any residual water when you disconnect the old pipe.
Remove the Old Connection Pipe
~2 min
Unscrew the old pipe from the wall valve and fixture inlet by turning the nuts counter-clockwise.
Take care: Old fittings can be stiff — use a wrench gently if needed, but avoid excessive force that could damage the valve threads.
Attach the New JKC Pipe to the Wall Valve
~2 min
Thread one end of the new JKC connection pipe onto the wall valve and hand-tighten until snug.
Take care: Hand-tighten only — overtightening with a wrench can damage the washer seal.
Attach the Other End to the Fixture Inlet
~2 min
Thread the other end onto the fixture inlet (basin, sink, flush tank, or geyser) and hand-tighten until snug.
Turn the Water Back On & Test for Leaks
~2 min
Slowly turn the water supply back on and check both connection points for drips. Wipe dry and inspect again after a few minutes.
Take care: If you notice a drip, turn off the supply and tighten the nut a little further by hand before testing again.
Points To Take Care Of

Do's & Don'ts

The most common fitting mistakes — and how to avoid them.

Do

  • Confirm your fitting is a standard 1/2 inch connection before starting
  • Hand-tighten each end firmly until snug
  • Keep the old pipe until you've confirmed the new one doesn't leak
  • Check both ends after turning the water back on
  • Wipe the connection area dry before inspecting for leaks

Don't

  • Don't overtighten with a wrench or spanner — it can damage the washer seal
  • Don't force the pipe if the threads don't align — recheck orientation
  • Don't kink or twist the braided hose sharply
  • Don't skip the leak check after installation
  • Don't discard the old pipe until the new one is confirmed working
