It features a 1\/2 inch MIP inlet with a tapped 3\/8 inch FIP x 1\/2 inch MIP configuration and measures 36 inches in length. The flexible tube is constructed from epoxy coated stainless steel with a 3\/8 inch inner diameter and 1\/2 inch outer diameter. The built-in thermal excess flow valve automatically shuts off gas flow in the event of excess heat, providing a critical layer of protection. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this connector as part of a compliant gas appliance hookup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gas connector is suited for connecting gas appliances such as ranges, dryers, and water heaters to supply lines in both indoor and outdoor installations. The 36 inch length provides flexibility during rough-in and final appliance positioning. The tapped 3\/8 inch FIP x 1\/2 inch MIP end connections allow direct interface with standard appliance inlet valves and residential gas supply lines. The epoxy coating provides corrosion resistance for outdoor-rated applications. Fittings are included with the connector assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThermal excess flow valve shuts off gas automatically under excess heat conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEpoxy coated stainless steel construction resists corrosion indoors and outdoors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 inch length with 3\/8 inch inner diameter and 1\/2 inch outer diameter flexible tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch MIP inlet with tapped 3\/8 inch FIP x 1\/2 inch MIP outlet connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproved for both indoor and outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes fittings — no additional hardware required for standard connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gas connector for residential and light commercial gas appliances requiring a 1\/2 inch MIP x 3\/8 inch FIP x 1\/2 inch MIP connection with a 36 inch flexible stainless steel assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply at the main valve and verify zero pressure before disconnecting or connecting any gas fittings. Apply an approved gas-rated thread sealant to all male pipe threads and inspect all joints for leaks with an approved leak detection solution before restoring gas flow. Never overtighten the flexible connector or bend it at sharp angles, as this can damage the corrugated tube and compromise the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch MIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch FIP x 1\/2 inch MIP (tapped)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Epoxy Coated Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thermal Excess Flow Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Indoor and Outdoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13.39 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SHARKBITE\/CASH ACME\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20YE50V036B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARKBITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558652051762,"sku":"20YE50V036B","price":279.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ec8190244a7ce3b06365b854fe9e877d.jpg?v=1786416990","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-cash-acme-20ye50v036b-gas-connector-36-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
