Sharkbite/cash Acme 10YE50V024B Thermal Excess Flow Gas Connector

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 10YE50V024B is a thermal excess flow valve gas connector designed for residential and light commercial gas appliance installations. It features a 1/2 inch MIP inlet with a tapped 3/8 inch FIP x 1/2 inch MIP configuration and a 24-inch flexible tube assembly. The connector is constructed from epoxy-coated stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suited for both indoor and outdoor environments. The internal diameter of the tube is 1/4 inch with a 3/8 inch outer diameter. The thermal excess flow valve function adds a built-in safety shutoff that responds to abnormal flow conditions, making it a code-appropriate choice for gas appliance connections.

This connector is used in gas supply line applications where a flexible connection is required between a rigid gas supply line and an appliance such as a range, dryer, or water heater. The 24-inch length provides installation flexibility in tight or offset rough-in conditions. The epoxy-coated stainless steel construction makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Fittings are included with the connector assembly, allowing for direct installation without additional adapters in standard configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should 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 line before making any connections. Do not over-bend or kink the flexible tube, and never route a gas connector through walls, floors, ceilings, or enclosed spaces. Inspect all fittings with an approved leak-detection solution after installation before restoring gas service.
