Sharkbite/cash Acme 30YE555436 Gas Connector 36 in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE555436 is a 36-inch, 5/8-inch OD flexible gas connector designed to link gas ranges, boilers, and other high-usage appliances to a shut-off valve. It features an epoxy coating that resists corrosion, chemical stains from common household products, and UV exposure, making it approved for both indoor and outdoor installations. The connector is rated for gas appliances up to 125,000 BTU/h. Connections are made via a 3/4-inch FIP fitting on one end and a 3/4-inch MIP fitting — tapped 1/2-inch FIP — on the other. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the primary installers of this type of connector.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a gas range, boiler, or similarly rated appliance must be connected to an existing shutoff valve. The 36-inch flexible length provides working room during appliance installation or replacement. The epoxy coating makes it appropriate for installations in environments where the connector may be exposed to cleaning chemicals or moderate UV light. It ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for supply houses and contractors stocking multiple jobs.
