Sharkbite/cash Acme 10YE52V036B Gas Connector 36 in Efv

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 10YE52V036B is a 36-inch, 3/8-inch OD epoxy-coated flexible gas connector rated for up to 33,400 BTU/h. It is designed to connect gas log kits, space heaters, and other low-usage gas appliances to a shutoff valve. The connector includes an integrated ArmorBoost EFV (excess flow valve) with a thermal safety ring that expands to stop gas flow when temperatures reach 350 degrees F or higher. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this connector as part of a compliant appliance connection in residential gas piping systems.

This connector is suited for residential applications where gas log kits, space heaters, and similar low-usage appliances are connected to a supply shutoff valve. The 3/8-inch OD design accommodates common small-appliance gas supply configurations. The package includes one 36-inch 3/8-inch OD epoxy-coated gas log connector, one 3/8-inch MIP fitting tapped for 1/4-inch FIP, and one 1/2-inch MIP fitting tapped for 3/8-inch FIP, providing flexibility for various connection configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the main valve and verify zero pressure before connecting or disconnecting any fittings. Do not over-bend or kink the flexible connector, and never use a flexible connector in a concealed or inaccessible location unless specifically rated and permitted for that application. Leak-test all connections with approved soap solution or electronic detector after installation before restoring gas service.
