Sharkbite/cash Acme 30YE50V036B Gas Connector 36 Inches

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE50V036B is a thermal excess flow valve gas connector designed for residential and light commercial gas appliance installations. This flexible connector features epoxy coated stainless steel construction with a 36-inch tube length, a 1/2 inch inner diameter, and a 5/8 inch outer diameter. The 15/16-16 threaded end connections include a 3/8 inch FIP tapped inlet and a 1/2 inch MIP outlet, providing a secure, leak-resistant transition between the gas supply line and the appliance. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this connector as part of final appliance hookups in both new construction and service replacement work.

This connector is approved for indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for a wide range of gas appliance applications including ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters. The integrated thermal excess flow valve adds a layer of safety by restricting gas flow in the event of a line rupture or abnormal heat condition. The epoxy coating on the stainless steel braid provides corrosion resistance in damp or exposed environments, including outdoor installations where moisture exposure is a concern.
