Dormont CSSD54-36 Gas Connector 36 Inches Fip X Mip

Product Description

The DORMONT CSSD54-36 is a corrugated stainless steel gas connector with a proprietary polymer coating designed for residential and light commercial gas appliance connections. The connector features a 3/8 inch inner diameter and 1/2 inch outer diameter, measuring 36 inches in length with 1/2 inch FIP x 1/2 inch MIP fittings. The yellow polymer coating is baked directly onto the corrugated stainless steel body using a powder-coat process, producing a uniform finish over the full length of the connector. This construction provides resistance to household chemicals, UV exposure, and salt environments. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This gas connector is suited for natural gas and liquid propane appliance installations in residential settings. It is designed to connect gas appliances such as ranges, dryers, or water heaters to supply lines where a flexible corrugated connector is required. The 36 inch length provides adequate reach for standard appliance rough-in clearances. With a natural gas capacity of 71,100 BTU/h and an LP capacity of 113,760 BTU/h, this connector supports typical residential gas appliance loads. The 1/2 inch FIP x 1/2 inch MIP end fittings are compatible with common residential gas supply configurations.
