Sharkbite/cash Acme 30YE55V05448B Gas Connector 48 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE55V05448B is a 5/8 inch OD coated stainless steel gas connector measuring 48 inches in length. It features 3/4 inch FIP inlet and 1/2 inch FIP outlet end fittings, with the 1/2 inch FIP end tapped for an optional 3/8 inch FIP connection. The connector is equipped with an ArmorBoost excess flow valve, which provides an added layer of protection by automatically restricting gas flow in the event of a line rupture or major leak. Plumbers and gas fitters install this type of connector to link residential or light-commercial gas appliances to supply lines.

This connector is suited for use with common household gas appliances such as ranges, dryers, water heaters, and similar equipment requiring a flexible corrugated stainless steel connector. The coated exterior provides additional corrosion resistance and mechanical protection in tight installation spaces. The tapped 3/8 inch FIP port on the outlet fitting accommodates applications where a smaller supply connection is needed, adding versatility across different appliance hookup configurations. Units are sold as a case of 12.
