Sharkbite/cash Acme 60005B Straight Brass Gas Ball Valve

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 60005B is a straight brass gas ball valve designed for inline connections joining two pipes running in the same direction. It features a 5/8 inch flare inlet and a 3/4 inch female iron pipe (FIP) outlet. Built from solid brass, the valve provides a strong, durable connection rated for use with liquified petroleum gas, LP gas, and air mixtures at pressures up to 175 psi. This valve is suitable for residential and light commercial gas piping applications and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters working on LP gas distribution systems.

This valve is used in inline gas piping runs where a 5/8 inch flare connection meets a 3/4 inch FIP threaded fitting. Common applications include LP gas supply lines for appliances, generators, and heating equipment. The straight configuration keeps the piping run direct without a directional change, simplifying installation in tight or linear plumbing layouts. It is sold in a bag package with a quantity of 6 units per package, making it practical for contractors stocking multiple valves for service calls or new construction jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the work area before beginning any valve installation or replacement. Ensure flare fittings are properly formed and threads are sealed with an approved gas-rated thread sealant or tape. Do not overtighten brass fittings; follow fitting manufacturer torque guidelines and leak-test all connections with an approved gas leak detection solution before restoring service.
