Rheem cssc44-36 Gas Connector 1/2 in Npt X Npt 36 in

Product Description

The RHEEM cssc44-36 is a gas connector designed to create a flexible, secure connection between a gas supply line and a gas-fired appliance. Measuring 36 inches in length, it features 1/2 in Male NPT fittings on both ends, making it straightforward to thread into standard gas supply ports without adapters. This type of connector is a standard component in residential and light commercial gas appliance installations, used by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians to complete the final gas hookup to furnaces, water heaters, dryers, and similar equipment.

This connector is suited for applications requiring a 36-inch reach between the gas shutoff valve and the appliance inlet. The 1/2 in Male NPT x 1/2 in Male NPT configuration fits directly into female NPT ports on both the gas valve and the appliance, which is a common arrangement in residential natural gas and propane systems. It is typically installed during new equipment setups or appliance replacements where the existing connector does not meet current code or length requirements.

Key Features

• 36-inch length provides generous reach for most standard residential appliance hookups
• 1/2 in Male NPT on both ends for direct connection to female NPT gas ports
• Compatible with standard natural gas and propane supply systems
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gas connector for residential and light commercial gas appliances using 1/2 in female NPT inlet and outlet ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with local gas codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the main or appliance shutoff valve before disconnecting or installing any gas connector. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or tape rated for gas service to all male NPT threads before assembly. After installation, test all connections for leaks using an approved gas leak detection solution before restoring gas supply.
