Sharkbite/cash Acme 62747B 3/8 Inch Od Flare X 3/8 Inch Fip Gas

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 62747B is a 3/8-inch OD flare x 3/8-inch female iron pipe (FIP) gas fitting designed for connecting gas appliances to supply lines. The flare end connects to the gas connector nut, while the male FIP end threads into a gas appliance inlet, gas ball valve, or gas supply stub-out. Sold as a single fitting, this adapter is a straightforward solution for plumbers and gas fitters working on residential appliance connections. At 1.28 pounds, the fitting is compact and suitable for accessible inline installations where a reliable flare-to-FIP transition is needed.

This fitting is intended for use with gas logs, space heaters, and similar residential gas appliances that accept a 3/8-inch OD flare inlet connection. It bridges the gas connector nut on the supply side to a 3/8-inch FIP threaded appliance port, gas ball valve, or stub-out. The fitting is suited for dry natural gas and LP applications where a flare-type connection is specified at the appliance inlet. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters typically handle installation to comply with local gas codes.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch OD flare inlet connects directly to the gas connector nut
• 3/8-inch FIP outlet threads into appliance inlets, gas ball valves, or supply stub-outs
• Compatible with most gas log and space heater inlet configurations
• Single-piece adapter — no additional hardware required for the flare-to-FIP transition
• Do not apply thread sealant to the flared end — flare connections are metal-to-metal seals

Compatibility

Designed for use with most gas log and space heater inlets that accept a 3/8-inch OD flare connection on the gas connector nut side and a 3/8-inch FIP threaded port on the appliance or valve side.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local gas codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply at the nearest upstream shutoff valve before beginning work and verify zero pressure before making connections. Do not apply pipe thread sealant or tape to the flared end — flare fittings rely on a metal-to-metal seat and sealant on that surface will compromise the connection. Leak-test all joints with an approved gas leak detection solution after restoring gas pressure.
