Sharkbite/cash Acme 30YE515048B Gas Connector 48in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE515048B is a 48-inch, 5/8-inch OD epoxy-coated flexible gas connector designed to connect gas ranges, boilers, and other high-usage gas appliances to a shut-off valve. It ships with a 1/2-inch FIP fitting and a 1/2-inch MIP fitting (tapped 3/8-inch FIP), giving installers the flexibility to match common valve and appliance connections without additional adapters. The DuraCoat epoxy coating guards against corrosion, UV exposure, and chemical staining from common household products. This connector is certified for gas appliances rated up to 106,000 BTU/h and is approved for both indoor and outdoor use.

This gas connector is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a gas range, boiler, or similarly rated appliance must be connected to a supply shut-off valve. The 48-inch length accommodates typical appliance setbacks and allows for minor repositioning during installation or service. The included FIP and MIP fittings cover the most common connection configurations found on residential gas appliances and supply valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply at the main valve and verify zero pressure in the line before making or breaking any connections. Do not over-bend or kink the connector, and do not use the connector to correct significant misalignment between the appliance and the supply valve. Test all connections for leaks with an approved leak-detection solution after installation.
