It connects gas appliances to supply lines using a 1\/2 in. MIP inlet tapped for 3\/8 in. FIP and a 1\/2 in. MIP outlet. The flexible corrugated tube measures 3\/8 in. inner diameter and 1\/2 in. outer diameter. The thermal excess flow valve provides an automatic shutoff function when abnormal gas flow is detected, adding a layer of protection in residential and light commercial gas installations. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is approved for both indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for a wide range of gas appliance hookups including ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters. The epoxy coating on the stainless steel corrugated tube provides corrosion resistance in exposed or damp environments. The fittings are included with the assembly, allowing for a complete installation without sourcing additional hardware. This connector fits typical residential and light commercial gas piping systems where a flexible appliance connector is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated thermal excess flow valve provides automatic shutoff under abnormal flow conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEpoxy-coated stainless steel corrugated tube resists corrosion in indoor and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e48-inch length provides flexible reach for appliance hookup and repositioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 in.
