Sharkbite/cash Acme 30YE50V024B Gas Connector 24 Inches

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE50V024B is a 24-inch thermal excess flow gas connector designed for residential and light commercial gas appliance installations. It features an epoxy-coated stainless steel tube with a 1/2-inch inner diameter and 5/8-inch outer diameter. The connector uses a 15/16-16 thread and includes a tapped 3/8-inch FIP inlet and 1/2-inch MIP outlet. The built-in thermal excess flow valve automatically restricts gas flow in the event of a line rupture or excessive heat, adding a critical layer of safety to the installation. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers of this type of connector.

This connector is approved for both indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for a range of gas appliance hookups including ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters. The tube with fittings configuration simplifies installation by providing a ready-to-connect assembly. The epoxy coating on the stainless steel tube offers corrosion resistance, supporting long-term performance in exposed or high-humidity environments where appliances are commonly located.
