Sharkbite/cash Acme 30YE505048B Gas Connector 48 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE505048B is a coated stainless steel flexible gas connector designed to supply natural gas or liquid propane to residential and light commercial appliances. The corrugated stainless steel body is protected by a polymer coating that guards against abrasion and corrosion. At 5/8 inch OD and 48 inches in length, this connector provides the reach and flexibility needed for appliance hookups where rigid pipe is impractical. Both ends terminate in 1/2 inch MIP fittings, each internally tapped to accept a 3/8 inch FIP connection, giving installers a dual-purpose thread configuration at each end.

This connector is suited for gas appliance installations including ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters in residential and light commercial settings. The 48 inch length accommodates appliances that sit away from the wall or require routing around obstructions. The dual-tapped fittings allow compatibility with both 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch gas supply lines, reducing the need for additional adapter fittings on the job.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch OD corrugated stainless steel construction with protective polymer coating
• 48 inch length for flexible appliance positioning and routing
• 1/2 inch MIP end fittings with internal 3/8 inch FIP tapping at both ends
• Dual-tapped design eliminates the need for separate adapters in mixed-thread applications
• Coated exterior resists abrasion and corrosion in typical appliance installation environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gas connector for residential and light commercial gas appliances requiring a 5/8 inch OD flexible connector with 1/2 inch MIP or 3/8 inch FIP end connections.

Installation Notes

Gas connector installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply at the meter or service valve before disconnecting or connecting any gas line. Apply an approved gas thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded connections. Never kink, stretch, or route this connector through walls, floors, or ceilings — flexible gas connectors are intended for final appliance connection only.
