WhisperFlex®
Black Coated Gas
Connectors
Specifically engineered for high-temperature applications such as gas
logs, fireplace inserts, and freestanding fireplaces
• The special corrugated design eliminates the annoying whistle
produced by some high BTU gas applications
Features and Specifications
• Tubing Annealed, 304 stainless steel (ASTM A240)
• Black coating. Maximum temperature rating: 350°F
• Flare nuts Steel with black plating
• Adapters Steel with black plating
• Approved for indoor/outdoor use with stationary gas
appliances/equipment
• Designed for high-temperature applications up to 350°F
• 100% factory leak tested
• When installing a new appliance or when an existing
appliance is moved to a new location a NEW gas
connector must be used per manufacturer’s
installation instructions and per product standards
ANSI Z21.24/CSA 6.10 and ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27
• Designed for occasional movement after installation, flexing or
extreme vibration must be avoided. Normal operation of a clothes
dryer, rooftop HVAC unit or SIMILAR OUTDOOR APPLIANCE
DOES NOT constitute extreme vibration or movement
• Coating reduces glare and hides the connector from view

NOTICE
The minimum flow capacity values in the charts are at 0.5" w.c. pressure drop (inlet pressure
minus outlet pressure). If your gas system has more available pressure drop then a general
rule of thumb approximate calculation is as follows:
Minimum Flow Capacity @ your pressure drop = Square Root (your pressure drop/0.5) x value
from chart
Example: What is the approximate minimum flow capacity (natural gas) of the Dormont
10ANW Series x 24" @ 1" wc pressure drop?
Answer: Square Root (1/0.5) x 40,000 = 56,568 BTU/hr
