Tradepro tp-gc-581212mf-36v Gas Connector 36 Inch Shut-off

Product Description

The TRADEPRO tp-gc-581212mf-36v is a flexible gas connector designed for connecting gas appliances to residential or commercial supply lines. Built from 304 stainless steel that has been annealed for strength and flexibility, this connector resists corrosion in both indoor and outdoor environments. It measures 5/8 inch outer diameter with a 1/2 inch MIP male connection on one end and a 1/2 inch FIP female connection on the other, with an overall length of 36 inches. A built-in shut-off valve is integrated into the assembly for added safety and convenience during installation or service. Flared end fittings provide a secure metal-to-metal seal. The connector and valve carry CSA and UL certifications for use with natural gas and LP gas.

This connector is suited for a range of gas appliance hookups including ranges, dryers, water heaters, and space heaters in both residential and light commercial settings. The 36-inch length provides flexibility during rough-in and final appliance positioning, making it practical for applications where a direct rigid connection is not feasible. It is rated for both natural gas and liquid propane (LP) service, making it a versatile option across various fuel configurations.

Installation Notes

Gas connector installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Always shut off the gas supply at the meter or main valve before disconnecting or connecting any gas fittings.
