Sharkbite/cash Acme 10YE515036B Gas Connector 36in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 10YE515036B is a 3/8-inch OD flexible gas connector designed to link gas log kits, space heaters, and low-usage gas appliances to a shut-off valve. The connector measures 36 inches in length and is rated for gas appliances up to 33,400 BTU/h. It ships with one 1/2-inch FIP fitting and one 1/2-inch MIP fitting (tapped 3/8-inch FIP), giving the installer both end connections in a single package. The DuraCoat epoxy coating protects the connector body against corrosion, common household chemical stains, and UV exposure. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This connector is suited for residential applications where low-BTU gas appliances require a flexible supply line from a nearby shut-off valve. Typical use cases include gas log inserts, vented and unvented gas log sets, and portable or wall-mounted space heaters. The 36-inch length provides enough flexibility to route around cabinetry or hearth framing in tight installations. The epoxy coating makes the connector appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations, expanding its use to covered patio heaters and outdoor gas log applications.

Shut off the gas supply at the main valve and verify zero pressure at the connector before making or breaking any fittings. Do not overtighten fittings; use an appropriate thread sealant rated for gas service on all threaded connections. Leak-test all joints with an approved gas leak detection solution after installation before restoring gas supply.
