Product Description

The DORMONT cssd54-48 is a stainless steel gas connector designed for use in residential and light commercial gas appliance installations. It features a 3/8 inch nominal size with female iron pipe (FIP) end fittings on both ends, providing a secure, leak-resistant threaded connection. Rated for a working pressure of 0.5 psi and a temperature range of -40 to 150 degrees F, this connector is built to handle standard natural gas and LP gas service conditions. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers for this type of flexible connector.

This gas connector is suited for connecting gas-fired appliances such as ranges, dryers, water heaters, and furnaces to the gas supply line in residential and light commercial settings. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and provides long service life in both indoor and exposed utility installations. Domestically manufactured, it meets the dimensional and material standards expected for FIP-end gas connectors in these applications.
