Sharkbite/cash Acme 20YE50V024B Gas Connector 24 Inches

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 20YE50V024B is a thermal excess flow gas connector designed for safe, code-compliant gas appliance connections in residential and light commercial settings. This 24-inch flexible connector features epoxy-coated stainless steel construction with a 3/8 inch inner diameter and 1/2 inch outer diameter tube. End connections are 1/2 inch MIP with a tapped 3/8 inch FIP inlet and 1/2 inch MIP outlet. The built-in thermal excess flow valve automatically shuts off gas flow when exposed to excessive heat, providing an added layer of protection at the appliance connection point. Plumbers and gas fitters rely on this connector for final drops to ranges, dryers, and other gas appliances.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial gas appliance installations where a flexible, corrosion-resistant drop connector is required. Its indoor and outdoor approval rating makes it appropriate for a wide range of installation environments, including exterior utility areas and laundry rooms. The 24-inch length provides adequate flexibility for standard appliance rough-in configurations. Fittings are included with the connector, simplifying installation on new and replacement jobs alike.

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 meter or main shutoff valve and verify zero pressure before disconnecting or connecting any fittings. Do not over-bend or kink the flexible tube, and never route a flexible gas connector through walls, floors, or ceilings. After installation, check all connections for leaks using an approved gas leak detection solution before restoring gas service.
