Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 20YE515124B is a 24-inch, 1/2-inch OD flexible gas connector designed to link water heaters, dryers, and moderate-usage gas appliances to a shut-off valve. The connector features DuraCoat Epoxy Coating, which resists corrosion, UV exposure, and chemical stains from common household products. It is certified for use with most water heaters and dryers rated up to 49,100 BTU/h. The assembly includes a 1/2-inch FIP fitting and a 1/2-inch MIP fitting tapped for 3/8-inch FIP, providing flexible connection options straight out of the package.

This gas connector is suited for residential installations where a reliable, code-compliant flexible line is required between a gas shut-off valve and an appliance such as a water heater or dryer. The DuraCoat Epoxy Coating makes it appropriate for exposed or semi-exposed locations where moisture, cleaning chemicals, or sunlight may be present.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas service technician in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the main valve and verify zero pressure before disconnecting any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply an approved gas-rated thread sealant or tape to all threaded connections and inspect for leaks with an approved leak-detection solution before restoring gas flow. Do not kink, over-bend, or use the connector as a rigid structural support between the appliance and the supply line.
