Sharkbite/cash Acme 40YE545524B Gas Connector 24 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 40YE545524B is a coated stainless steel gas connector measuring 1 inch OD by 24 inches in length. It features 3/4 inch FIP inlet and 3/4 inch MIP outlet connections, with the female end tapped for an additional 1/2 inch FIP connection. The corrugated stainless steel core provides flexibility for routing to gas appliances, while the protective coating adds resistance to abrasion and moisture. This connector is used by licensed plumbers and gas fitters when making final gas supply connections to residential and light commercial appliances.

This connector is suited for natural gas and propane appliance installations where a 24-inch flexible connector is required. Typical applications include gas ranges, dryers, water heaters, and other appliances that require a semi-rigid flexible supply line between a rigid gas supply outlet and the appliance inlet. The dual-size female tapped end offers installation flexibility when the appliance inlet or shutoff valve does not match a standard 3/4 inch thread. This product is sold in cases of 12 units.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the IFGC. Shut off the main gas supply and confirm zero pressure at the line before making or breaking any connections. Use an approved pipe thread sealant rated for gas service on all threaded joints. Never reuse a previously installed flexible gas connector, and do not stretch, kink, or conceal the connector inside walls or floors.
