Sharkbite Cash Acme 30YE555448B Gas Connector 48 in

Product Description

The SHARKBITE CASH ACME 30YE555448B is an epoxy-coated stainless steel gas connector designed to link gas appliances to supply lines using a 3/4-inch FIP inlet and a 3/4-inch MIP outlet. The corrugated stainless steel tube measures 48 inches in length with a 1/2-inch inner diameter and a 5/8-inch outer diameter. The epoxy coating adds a layer of corrosion resistance suited to demanding service environments. This connector is approved for both indoor and outdoor installations and is handled and installed by licensed plumbers and gas fitters working on residential and light commercial appliance hookups.

This gas connector is used when connecting natural gas or liquid propane appliances such as ranges, dryers, water heaters, and furnaces to a threaded gas supply outlet. The 48-inch length provides enough flexibility to accommodate appliances that sit several feet from the wall shutoff. The 15/16-16 thread specification ensures correct engagement with standard fittings at both ends. The connector suits residential kitchens, laundry rooms, mechanical rooms, and exterior appliance installations where indoor-outdoor rated components are required by local code.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local gas codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the nearest upstream valve before beginning any connection work. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all threaded joints and verify connections with a leak-detection solution before restoring gas flow. Never bend or kink the corrugated tube beyond its designed flex radius, and do not use this connector as a permanent rigid pipe substitute.
