Sharkbite/cash Acme 30YE54V548B Gas Connector 48 Inches

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE54V548B is a 48-inch flexible gas connector with an integrated thermal excess flow valve, designed for connecting gas appliances to supply lines in both residential and light commercial applications. The connector features epoxy-coated stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability. End connections are 3/4 in. MIP (tapped 1/2 in. FIP) on one end and 3/4 in. FIP on the other, with a 15/16-16 thread specification. The flexible tube has a 1/2 in. inside diameter and 5/8 in. outside diameter. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers of this fitting.

This gas connector is approved for both indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for a wide range of appliance hookups including ranges, dryers, water heaters, and outdoor grills or space heaters. The thermal excess flow valve provides an added layer of safety by automatically restricting gas flow if the connector is exposed to excessive heat or physical damage. The 48-inch length provides installation flexibility in tight or offset appliance bays. It ships in a package quantity of 12 units, making it a practical stocking item for plumbing and gas supply distributors.

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 meter or service valve before disconnecting or installing any gas connector.
