Sharkbite/cash Acme 65704B Flare X Mip Gas Adapter Fitting

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 65704B is a 1/2 inch OD flare x 1/2 inch MIP gas adapter fitting designed to connect flexible gas connectors to appliance inlets, gas ball valves, or gas supply stub-outs. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this fitting provides corrosion resistance and durability in residential gas piping applications. The flared end accepts a standard gas connector nut, while the male iron pipe (MIP) end threads directly into the receiving fitting or valve. It is a straightforward, code-compliant transition fitting used daily by licensed plumbers and gas fitters on natural gas and propane systems.

This adapter is suited for residential gas appliance connections where a flexible gas connector terminates in a flare nut and the supply side presents a female threaded port. Typical installations include gas ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters. The fitting is sold in a package quantity of 6, making it practical for service vehicles and multi-unit jobs. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters working under applicable local and national gas codes.

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 main valve and verify zero pressure before making any connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant rated for gas service to the MIP threads; do not apply sealant to the flare end. After completing the connection, pressure-test with an approved leak detection solution before restoring gas service.
