Sharkbite/cash Acme 65708B 3/8 Flare X 3/8 Mip Gas Adapter

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 65708B is a 3/8 inch OD flare x 3/8 inch MIP gas adapter fitting manufactured from zinc-plated steel. It is designed to connect a flexible gas connector to an appliance inlet, gas ball valve, or gas supply stub-out. The flared end of the fitting mates directly with the gas connector nut, creating a secure, leak-resistant transition point. This type of fitting is a standard component in residential and light commercial gas piping rough-in and appliance hookup work, installed by licensed plumbers and gas fitters.

This adapter is used where a flexible gas connector must terminate at a threaded male iron pipe connection. Typical applications include final connections at gas ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters. The flare-to-MIP configuration accommodates the most common gas connector nut style used in residential appliance installations. The zinc-plated steel construction resists corrosion in typical indoor gas piping environments.

Compatibility

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 shutoff valve and verify zero pressure before beginning work. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or tape rated for gas service to the MIP threads only — never apply sealant to the flare end. Pressure-test the completed assembly with an approved leak detection solution before restoring gas service.
