Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 10YE515036 is a 36-inch, 3/8-inch OD flexible gas connector designed to connect gas log kits, space heaters, and low-usage gas appliances to a shut-off valve. The connector carries a certified BTU rating of up to 33,400 BTU/h, making it suitable for low-demand residential gas appliances. It features DuraCoat epoxy coating, which provides resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and chemical stains from common household products. The connector is approved for both indoor and outdoor installation. Each package includes one 36-inch epoxy-coated gas connector, one 1/2-inch FIP fitting, and one 1/2-inch MIP fitting tapped for 3/8-inch FIP.

This gas connector is intended for residential applications where a flexible, corrosion-resistant connection is needed between a shut-off valve and a low-usage gas appliance. Typical installations include gas log inserts, vented and unvented gas log sets, and freestanding space heaters. The 3/8-inch OD sizing is standard for these appliance types, and the included fittings accommodate common 1/2-inch inlet and outlet configurations. It is rated for both indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for installations on covered patios or similar outdoor living spaces where gas log kits are common.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local gas codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply at the main valve before beginning any connection work. Do not overtighten fittings; use an appropriate pipe wrench and apply listed thread sealant or tape rated for gas service. Inspect all connections for leaks using an approved leak-detection solution before restoring gas flow.
