Mueller Industries G012SS101448 Flex Gas Connector 48in

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES G012SS101448 is a stainless steel flexible gas connector designed to create a reliable, code-compliant connection between a gas supply line and an appliance. This 48-inch connector transitions from a 3/4-inch male iron pipe (MIP) inlet to a 1/2-inch MIP outlet, making it well suited for installations where inlet and outlet sizes differ. The corrugated stainless steel construction provides durability and resistance to corrosion in typical residential and light commercial environments. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this type of connector as a final appliance connection during new installations and appliance replacements.

This connector is used to link gas-supply piping to appliances such as ranges, dryers, water heaters, and similar gas-fired equipment. The 48-inch length gives the installer adequate slack to position the appliance without stressing the connection. The reducing configuration from 3/4 MIP to 1/2 MIP is common in residential installations where the branch supply line is a larger diameter than the appliance inlet. Always verify local codes and appliance manufacturer requirements before selecting connector length and diameter.

Key Features

• Corrugated stainless steel construction resists corrosion and provides flexibility during appliance positioning
• 48-inch length provides sufficient slack for most standard appliance installations
• Reducing end fittings: 3/4-inch MIP inlet to 1/2-inch MIP outlet eliminates the need for a separate reducing fitting
• Male iron pipe threads on both ends for direct connection to standard gas piping and appliance inlets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for residential and light commercial gas appliances requiring a 3/4 MIP supply connection transitioning to a 1/2 MIP appliance inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and appliance manufacturer specifications. Shut off the gas supply at the nearest service valve before beginning work. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant rated for gas service to all male threads before making connections. Do not kink, stretch, or over-bend the flexible connector, and never conceal it inside walls, floors, or ceilings.
