Sharkbite/cash Acme 20YE515060B Gas Connector 60 in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 20YE515060B is a 60-inch, 1/2-inch OD epoxy-coated flexible gas connector designed to link gas-fired water heaters, dryers, and moderate-use appliances to a shut-off valve. The connector carries a certified gas rating of up to 53,200 BTU/h, making it suitable for standard residential appliance loads. A DuraCoat epoxy coating shields the connector from corrosion, UV exposure, and chemical stains from common household products. The kit includes one 60-inch connector, one 1/2-inch FIP fitting, and one 1/2-inch MIP fitting tapped for 3/8-inch FIP. Plumbing and gas service technicians are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This connector is rated for indoor and outdoor installation and is intended for use with most major brands of residential gas water heaters and dryers. The 1/2-inch OD sizing and dual-fitting configuration cover a wide range of standard residential gas appliance connections. The 60-inch length provides enough flexibility for typical appliance rough-in clearances without requiring additional extensions. It is packaged individually and sold per each unit.
