Easyflex EZFG014-31 Ball Valve 3/8 in Od Flare X 1/2 in Fip

Product Description

The EASYFLEX EZFG014-31 is a gas ball valve designed for use in residential and light commercial gas supply applications. It features a 3/8-inch OD flare inlet connection and a 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) outlet connection, making it a compact shutoff solution for gas line installations. The quarter-turn ball valve design allows for fast, positive shutoff of the gas supply. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting in natural gas and liquid propane systems.

This ball valve is suited for use in residential gas supply lines where a flare-to-FIP transition with integral shutoff is required. Common applications include appliance connections, gas meter outlets, and branch line terminations where a reliable manual shutoff is needed at the point of connection. The 3/8-inch OD flare inlet accommodates standard flare tubing used in many residential gas piping configurations.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch OD flare inlet for direct connection to standard flare tubing
• 1/2-inch FIP outlet for threaded pipe connections
• Quarter-turn ball valve design for fast manual shutoff
• Flare-to-FIP transition eliminates need for a separate adapter fitting
• Compact form factor suited to tight gas appliance connection spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for residential and light commercial gas supply lines using 3/8-inch OD flare tubing and 1/2-inch FIP threaded pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the main gas supply and verify zero pressure at the work point before beginning any connection work. Apply approved thread sealant or tape rated for gas service to all FIP threads before assembly. Do not overtighten flare connections; hand-snug plus a controlled wrench turn is the standard practice to avoid deforming the flare seat.
