It features a 1/2 inch MIP tapped inlet with dual 3/8 inch FIP outlets and measures 48 inches in length. The flexible tube has a 1/4 inch inner diameter and a 3/8 inch outer diameter, constructed from epoxy coated stainless steel for corrosion resistance. This connector is approved for both indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for a wide range of gas appliance hookup scenarios. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this component.

This gas connector is used to connect natural gas or liquid propane appliances to supply lines in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include gas ranges, dryers, water heaters, and similar appliances where a flexible connection between the rigid supply line and the appliance inlet is required. The thermal excess flow valve feature provides an additional layer of safety by responding to abnormal flow conditions. The 48 inch length gives installers adequate reach in standard appliance alcoves and utility spaces.
