Sharkbite/cash Acme 62730B Gas Flare Adapter 5/8x1/2 Mip

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 62730B is a gas flare adapter fitting designed to connect a gas connector nut to an appliance gas inlet. The 5/8 inch OD flare end accepts the threaded nut of a standard flexible gas connector, while the 1/2 inch male iron pipe (MIP) end threads directly into a gas appliance inlet, gas ball valve, or gas supply stub-out. This adapter is a staple fitting in gas appliance installations and is sold in a package of 6 units, making it practical for service technicians who routinely stock fittings. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers for this type of hardware.

This adapter is suited for residential gas appliance connections, including ranges, dryers, and other common household gas equipment. It bridges the flexible gas connector to the rigid supply side of the appliance or shutoff valve at the final connection point. Typical installations occur at the rear of an appliance during a new install, appliance swap, or gas connector replacement. The fitting is sold in an individual unit of measure (EA) and packaged in quantities of 6.

Installation Notes

Installation must 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 at the meter or nearest upstream shutoff valve before beginning work. Apply an approved gas-rated thread sealant or tape to the MIP threads before making the connection, and ensure the flare nut is properly seated and hand-tightened before using a wrench. After installation, test all connections for leaks using an approved gas leak detection solution before restoring gas service.
