Sharkbite/cash Acme 20YE515024B Gas Connector 24 in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 20YE515024B is a 24-inch, 1/2-inch OD epoxy-coated flexible gas connector designed to link residential gas appliances to a shutoff valve. It carries a certified gas rating of up to 85,000 BTU/h, making it suitable for water heaters, dryers, and moderate-usage appliances. The DuraCoat epoxy coating provides corrosion resistance and protection against UV rays and common household chemical stains. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this connector as part of a standard appliance hookup. The kit includes the connector, a 1/2-inch FIP fitting, and a 1/2-inch MIP fitting tapped for 3/8-inch FIP.

This connector is intended for residential gas appliance installations where a 1/2-inch OD flexible line is required between a shutoff valve and the appliance supply port. Typical applications include natural gas and propane water heaters and clothes dryers. The DuraCoat epoxy finish is approved for both indoor and outdoor installations, expanding its usable range beyond strictly interior utility rooms. The 24-inch length provides adequate reach for most standard appliance setups where the shutoff valve is in close proximity to the appliance connection point.
