Understanding the Connection Configuration
This connector uses different connection styles on each end. The 3/4" MIP end provides a male threaded connection, while the 3/4" FIP end provides a female threaded connection.
Before ordering, confirm both connection types on the gas supply and the appliance or equipment being connected. The nominal thread size is 3/4" on both ends even though one connection is male and the other is female.
Why Use a Flexible Gas Connector?
Flexible Installation
- Accommodates installations where rigid piping alignment is difficult
- Provides flexibility between fixed piping and connected equipment
- Multiple available lengths help match different installation layouts
- Useful where appliance or equipment positioning requires connection flexibility
- Helps simplify final connection between compatible threaded components
Male x Female Connections
- 3/4" MIP connection on one end
- 3/4" FIP connection on the opposite end
- Both connections use the same 3/4" nominal pipe size
- Reduces the need for additional adapters when this connection combination matches the installation
- Allows direct connection to compatible threaded components
Available Lengths
This 1" OD, 3/4" MIP x 3/4" FIP connector configuration is offered in several lengths to accommodate different equipment placement and piping layouts. Select the connector length that provides an appropriate route between the gas supply and connected appliance or equipment without unnecessary stretching or improper positioning.

Common Applications
Gas Appliance Connections
- Compatible gas-fired appliances
- Commercial cooking equipment
- Heating equipment
- Gas-fired mechanical equipment
- Other equipment requiring compatible flexible gas connections
Installation & Replacement
- New gas equipment installations
- Replacement connector applications
- Equipment relocation within allowable installation requirements
- Maintenance projects
- Applications requiring a flexible connection between fixed components
Selecting the Correct Connector Length
Select connector length based on the actual distance and routing required between the gas supply connection and the appliance or equipment connection. The connector should be long enough to make the required connection without being stretched or placed under unnecessary tension.
A longer connector should not be selected simply to create excess slack. Confirm the installation layout and applicable requirements before choosing a length.
Confirm the Connections Before Ordering
Supply-Side Connection
Confirm which side of the installation requires the 3/4" male threaded connection. MIP indicates a male iron pipe thread configuration.
Equipment-Side Connection
Confirm which side of the installation requires the 3/4" female threaded connection. FIP indicates a female iron pipe thread configuration.

- Verify the thread type and nominal size of both mating connections before ordering.
- Select a connector length suitable for the actual installation distance and routing.
- Do not stretch the connector to reach between connection points.
- Avoid sharp bends, kinks, crushing, twisting, or other damage during installation.
- Route the connector so it is protected from physical damage.
- Use connection and sealing practices appropriate for the gas piping system and applicable requirements.
- Inspect the connector and end fittings for damage before installation.
- Confirm that the connector does not contact sharp edges or surfaces that could damage the coating.
- Leak-test completed gas connections using an appropriate method before placing equipment into service.
- Follow applicable fuel-gas codes, local requirements, equipment instructions, and connector documentation.
- Installation should be completed by qualified personnel familiar with gas piping systems.
Product Selection Considerations
