Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE555448 is a 48-inch, 5/8-inch OD flexible gas connector designed to link gas ranges, boilers, and other high-usage gas appliances to a shut-off valve. The connector features an epoxy coating that resists corrosion, common household chemical stains, and UV exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. It is certified for use with appliances rated up to 106,000 BTU/h. The kit includes one 48-inch epoxy-coated connector, one 3/4-inch FIP fitting, and one 3/4-inch MIP fitting tapped for 1/2-inch FIP. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers for this type of connector.

This gas connector is intended for residential and light commercial applications where a flexible, corrosion-resistant connection is required between a gas appliance and a supply shutoff valve. Common use cases include gas range hook-ups, boiler gas supply connections, and other high-demand gas appliances. The 3/4-inch FIP and 3/4-inch MIP end fittings provide broad compatibility with standard gas supply configurations. The included MIP fitting is tapped to accept a 1/2-inch FIP connection, adding installation flexibility where supply line sizes vary.
