Sharkbite/cash Acme 20YE50V060B Gas Connector 60 in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 20YE50V060B is a thermal excess flow valve gas connector designed for residential and light commercial gas appliance installations. This 60-inch flexible connector features a 1/2 in. MIP inlet with a tapped 3/8 in. FIP x 1/2 in. MIP end configuration, allowing it to bridge gas supply lines to appliances with standard connection points. The corrugated stainless steel tube is epoxy coated for corrosion resistance and measures 3/8 in. I.D. by 1/2 in. O.D. The integrated thermal excess flow valve adds a layer of safety by limiting gas flow under fault conditions. Approved for both indoor and outdoor use, this connector ships as a single unit with fittings included.

This gas connector is suited for connecting natural gas or liquid propane appliances such as ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters to rigid gas supply lines. The 60-inch length provides adequate reach for appliances that require additional slack or are positioned away from the wall stub-out. The dual-end fitting configuration accommodates common residential gas supply rough-ins. Indoor and outdoor approval makes it appropriate for patio heaters, outdoor grills, and similar exterior appliance hookups as well as standard interior installations.

Shut off the gas supply at the meter or service valve and verify zero pressure before disconnecting any existing connector. Apply thread sealant rated for gas service to all male pipe threads and check all connections for leaks with an approved leak-detection solution after restoring gas pressure. Never route a gas connector through walls, floors, ceilings, or enclosed partitions.
