Rheem cssc44-24 Gas Connector 1/2 in Npt X Npt 24 in

Product Description

The RHEEM cssc44-24 is a gas connector designed for use in natural gas and liquid propane supply line applications. It features 1/2 inch Male NPT fittings on both ends and measures 24 inches in length, making it a direct-fit flexible connector for routing gas supply to appliances such as furnaces, water heaters, and boilers. This connector bridges the gas supply shutoff or manifold to the appliance inlet and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers working within residential or light commercial settings. Its dual Male NPT configuration simplifies connection to standard threaded fittings on both sides of the run.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial gas appliance installations where a 1/2 inch NPT threaded connection is required on both the supply side and the appliance inlet. Common applications include furnace replacements, water heater installations, and boiler hookups where a flexible connector of this length is needed to bridge the gas shutoff valve and the appliance. The 24 inch length accommodates typical clearance requirements in utility closets, mechanical rooms, and alcove installations.

• 1/2 inch Male NPT on both ends for standard threaded gas line connections

Installation Notes

Gas connectors must be installed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the main valve and verify zero pressure before disconnecting or installing any connector. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded joints. Never kink, stretch, or route the connector through walls, floors, or ceilings unless the connector is explicitly rated and listed for concealed installation.
