COATED STAINLESS STEEL GAS CONNECTORS
SELECTION & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For Residential and Commercial Gas Appliances
THE SAFE, EASY WAY TO INSTALL HOME GAS APPLIANCES.
Coated stainless steel gas appliance connectors provide a
safe and easy method to install gas ranges, water heaters,
ovens, furnaces and gas dryers. The corrugated tube
allows the exibility you need to align the appliance to the
rigid gas supply pipe. The proprietary coating provides best
available corrosion protection from harsh household
cleaning and plumbing repair chemicals.
❏ Approved for use with natural, manufactured, L.P.
(propane), and L.P. air mixture gases with internal
line pressure no greater than 1/2 lb. per square
inch (psi).
❏ Design certied by CSA, and listed by the New York
City Board of Standards and Appeals and the
Commonwealth of Massachusettes.
❏ Designed, Machines and Assembled in the USA and
100% leak tested.
* Appliance connectors sold without end ttings are not CSA design certied .
BEFORE INSTALLING, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Before Installing, Read All Instructions Carefully. Even an outstanding system can
become a hazard due to poor installation, inspection or testing. Plea se read all
precautions and installation instructions before beginning connector installation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
DANGER: Read and Understand All Precautions Carefully Before Installing
❏ Gases can be ignited by a ame or spark, which may result in an explosion.
Please follow installation instructions carefully. When in doubt, call a licensed
plumber or your local gas company.
❏ DO NOT reuse connectors, ttings and valves; they are designed for use on
original installation only. Removal of connector and additional handling may
damage connector making it unsafe for reuse.
❏ DO NOT use this connector if it has been in a re. Fire can damage the
connector making it unsafe for use.
❏ DO NOT use this connector on appliances
equipped with rollers or casters.
This connector is designed for limited movement
after installation. Repeated bending, exing or
extreme vibration can cause metal fatigue. Normal
vibration and movement of standard household gas
dryer or similar appliance is okay.
❏ DO NOT use connectors to make a direct
connection to LP gas containers.
Connection MUST be made to the regulator device
only.
❏ DO NOT use connector on appliances in moving
vehicles such as RV’s, trailers, etc. However, this
product may be used in manufactured housing
(permanent residence mobile homes).
❏ DO NOT use this connector with infrared radiant tube heaters.
Cyclic movement of heater may cause connector to fail.
❏ Keep cleaning solvents containing ammonia or
chlorine away from an uncoated or damaged gas
connector. DO NOT store these solutions near
connector or use the connector near a swimming
pool or hot tub. Water rinse the connector thoroughly
if exposed to these chemical products.
❏ DO NOT join this connector to another connector.
❏ DO NOT stretch connector to make it t.
Connector must be at least 2 to 3 inches longer than
the distance from the gas supply line to appliance.
WARNING: Connector is for use in accessible locations only. DO NOT conceal
connector or run connector through enclosed outdoor BBQ pits, walls, partitions,
oors or appliance panels.
WALL
❏ DO NOT connect gas connector nuts directly to pipe threads of gas supply pipe
or appliance. Install connector using the ttings provided. (see Figure A)

TO APPLIANCE
CODES AND REGULATIONS
Gas appliance and connector installation MUST conform with all local codes and
regulations including municipal and state building codes, and to all local utility regulations. In the absence of local code, the installation must conform with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA No. 54, Uniform Plumbing Code, or International Fuel Gas
Code. Contact your local gas company for details.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: Turn off gas supply before disconnecting old appliance. In absence of
manual shut-off valve near appliance location, gas MUST be shut off at main valve,
near meter.
NOTE: Fuel gas codes require installation of a manual shut-off valve in the same
room, within easy reach of the appliance (i.e. within 6 feet).
1. Clean all pipe threads with a wire brush and rag to ensure connections are free
of any debris such as metal shavings, rust, dirt, oil or water.
2. Apply pipe thread sealant to the male pipe threads
of connection. DO NOT apply sealant or tape to are
ends of ttings or shut-off valve. Sealant and tape
will prevent this connection from sealing properly.
3. If necessary, thread new manual shut-off valve onto
gas supply pipe, wrench tighten.
4. Thread steel tting to manual shut-off valve and
other steel tting onto appliance regulator.
5. Thread are nuts of gas connector onto shut-off valve and steel tting. Wrench
tighten all connections.
TO METER

• DO NOT stretch the connector to make it t.
X
Connector must be long enough to allow the
appliance to be positioned at its farthest anticipated
connected distance from the gas supply without
stretching, twisting or bending smaller that a 1-1/2
internal diameter (diameter of a golf ball).
• DO NOT trap connector against sharp edges
or corners.
CAUTION: DO NOT kink, twist or bend connector sharply.
6. Turn manual shut-off valve on to allow gas to
enter system.
WARNING: DO NOT TURN ON APPLIANCE until all
connections have been leak tested!
WARNING: DO NOT USE matches, candles, open
ames or other sources of ignition to leak test
connections!
7. Test all connections with leak test solution provided,
or with clear soap and water solution; bubbles will
indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, turn off gas
supply before further tightening connections.Water
rinse and towel dry connector once test is complete.
8. Wait at least 10 minutes to be certain that all vapors
have dissipated. If leak test conrms connections do
not leak gas, and you do not smell any gas,
THEN light pilot(s) and turn on appliance.
Tools Needed for Installation:
• (2) 10” adjustable wrenches
• Pipe dope or gas pipe thread tape
• Leak detection solution
