B1F20 - Genuine OEM Fluidmaster Faucet Braided Supply Line, 20", 3/8” Comp. x 1/2” F.I.P
B1F20 - Genuine Fluidmaster Faucet Braided Supply Line, 20", 3/8" Comp. x 1/2" F.I.P.
The B1F20 Genuine Fluidmaster Faucet Braided Supply Line is a 20-inch flexible water-supply connector designed for compatible kitchen and bathroom faucet installations. It features a 3/8-inch compression connection on one end and a 1/2-inch F.I.P. (Female Iron Pipe) connection on the other. The supply line uses braided 304 stainless steel construction with a durable polymer core for flexibility and resistance to kinking and creasing.
This Fluidmaster faucet connector is a practical replacement for an old, damaged, corroded, kinked, or leaking faucet supply line. Appliance Kingdom serves customers across Canada with replacement and repair components, making the B1F20 a convenient choice for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and professional plumbers or repair technicians.
What Does the B1F20 Faucet Supply Line Do?
The B1F20 provides the flexible connection between a water shut-off valve and a compatible faucet. Its 20-inch length provides additional reach for common under-sink installations, while the braided stainless steel exterior helps protect the supply line against abrasion and everyday wear.
The 3/8-inch compression × 1/2-inch F.I.P. configuration is important when replacing an existing supply line. The connection sizes and fitting types must match the faucet and shut-off valve for proper installation and a secure water connection.
The B1F20 is rated for a working pressure of up to 125 PSI and a working temperature range of approximately 40°F to 150°F according to Canadian distributor specifications. AMRE Supply also identifies the product as meeting ASME A112.18.6, CSA B125.6, and National Plumbing Code of Canada requirements.
Common Signs Your Faucet Supply Line Needs Replacement
A faucet supply line may need replacement when you notice:
-
Water leaking from the supply-line connection
-
A visibly damaged or deteriorated hose
-
Kinks or sharp bends restricting the line
-
Corrosion or damage to the exterior
-
Moisture or water underneath the sink
-
A supply line that is too short or difficult to route correctly
-
Worn or damaged fittings that no longer provide a reliable connection
If the existing supply line is leaking or physically damaged, replacing the line can resolve the problem when the supply line itself is the source of the leak. If water is coming from the faucet, shut-off valve, plumbing connection, or another component, replacing the B1F20 will not necessarily correct the issue.
Will Replacing the B1F20 Fix My Faucet Water-Supply Problem?
If your problem is caused by a leaking, damaged, kinked, or deteriorated faucet supply line, replacing the defective line with a properly sized B1F20 can restore the water connection.
Before ordering, confirm that your installation requires a 20-inch supply line with a 3/8-inch compression connection and 1/2-inch F.I.P. connection. Matching the fitting configuration is essential for proper installation and leak-free operation.
Compatibility & Ordering Guidance
The B1F20 is designed for compatible faucet water-supply installations using a 3/8-inch compression × 1/2-inch F.I.P. connection configuration and a 20-inch line length. Fluidmaster's product documentation specifically lists B1F20 under its faucet connector range.
Because faucet and plumbing configurations vary, verify the following before ordering:
-
Required supply-line length
-
Shut-off valve connection size
-
Faucet connection size
-
Compression versus F.I.P. connection type
-
Available space beneath the sink
If you are replacing an existing supply line, compare the fitting configuration and length of the old line with the B1F20 specifications before purchasing.

Installation Overview
Replacing a faucet supply line is generally a straightforward plumbing repair for an experienced DIYer. Before installation, shut off the water supply at the appropriate shut-off valve and remove the existing supply connector.
Ensure the new B1F20 is routed without excessive twisting, sharp bends, or kinks. Tighten the connections according to the fitting manufacturer's instructions and slowly restore the water supply. Carefully inspect both connections for leaks after installation.
Because this is a pressurised water connection, anyone who is uncomfortable working with plumbing fittings should consider having the supply line installed by a qualified plumber.
