Sharkbite/cash Acme 62731B Flare Mip Gas Adapter

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 62731B is a gas fitting adapter designed to connect a 5/8 inch OD flare end to a 3/4 inch male iron pipe (MIP) thread. It bridges the gas connector nut on the supply side to the threaded inlet on the appliance or shutoff side. This adapter is a standard component in gas appliance hookups where the flexible gas connector terminates in a flare nut and the receiving port is a threaded male fitting. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this fitting during appliance rough-in or replacement work. Sold in a package of 6 units, it is suited for shops and contractors stocking common gas fittings for residential service calls.

This adapter is used in residential gas appliance installations where a flexible gas connector with a 5/8 inch OD flare end must terminate at a threaded male port. Typical applications include connecting the gas supply line to a range, dryer, water heater, or other gas-fired appliance. The flare end connects to the gas connector nut while the MIP end threads into the appliance gas inlet, a gas ball valve, or a gas supply stub-out.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply at the meter or main shutoff valve before making any connections. Apply an approved gas-rated thread sealant or tape to the MIP threads before assembly. Pressure-test all connections after installation and before restoring gas flow.
