Easyflex efgc-012-ye-1010-18 Gas Connector 18in Mip

Product Description

The EASYFLEX efgc-012-ye-1010-18 is a flexible gas connector designed to link gas appliances to residential or light-commercial gas supply lines. Built from 304 stainless steel with an epoxy-coated yellow finish, it offers durability and easy identification in the field. The connector measures 18 inches in length with a 1/2-inch inside diameter and 5/8-inch outside diameter. It carries a BTU/h rating of 164,200 BTU/h and a pressure rating of 1/2 psi, making it suited for standard natural gas and propane appliance connections. Both end fittings are 1/2-inch MIP. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this type of connector.

This connector is appropriate for use in residential and light-commercial gas appliance installations including ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters where an 18-inch flexible connection is required. The MIP fitting configuration on both ends allows straightforward threaded connection to compatible appliance inlet ports and gas supply valves. The 304 stainless steel corrugated body resists corrosion and handles normal movement or vibration without fatigue. The temperature operating range of -40 to 150 degrees F covers typical indoor appliance environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply at the meter or service valve before disconnecting or connecting any gas piping.
