Description
5/8" OD Yellow Coated Gas Connector - 1/2" MIP x 1/2" MIP
Charman Inc 5/8" OD Yellow Coated Gas Connectors provide a flexible connection for compatible gas-fired appliances and equipment. This configuration features 1/2" MIP connections on both ends and is available in multiple lengths from 12" through 72" to accommodate a wide range of installation layouts.
The flexible corrugated connector construction helps bridge the connection between fixed gas piping and compatible appliances or equipment where rigid-pipe alignment may be impractical. The equal male-threaded ends simplify installations requiring 1/2" male pipe connections at both sides of the connector.

Understanding the Connection Configuration
This connector has a 1/2" MIP connection on both ends. MIP identifies a male threaded pipe connection, so each end is designed to connect to a compatible 1/2" female threaded connection.
Before ordering, confirm that both the gas-supply side and appliance or equipment side require compatible 1/2" female threaded connections.
Why Choose a Yellow Coated Gas Connector?
Flexible Installation
- Accommodates practical routing between fixed connection points
- Useful where rigid piping alignment is difficult
- Provides flexibility between gas piping and connected equipment
- Multiple lengths accommodate different installation layouts
- Helps simplify final appliance and equipment connections
Equal Male Connections
- 1/2" MIP connection on both ends
- Both threaded ends use the same nominal pipe size
- Designed for compatible female threaded connections
- Straightforward connection configuration
- Available across multiple connector lengths
Choosing the Correct Length
Measure the distance and planned routing between the gas supply and the appliance or equipment connection before selecting a connector. Choose a length that provides adequate routing without requiring the connector to be stretched or placed under unnecessary tension.
Available lengths range from 12" through 72", allowing the connector to be matched more closely to the installation. Avoid selecting excessive length simply to create additional slack.
Common Applications
Gas-Fired Equipment
- Compatible gas appliances
- Commercial cooking equipment
- Heating equipment
- Mechanical equipment
- Other compatible gas-fired equipment
Installation & Replacement
- New equipment installations
- Replacement gas connector applications
- Maintenance projects
- Equipment connection updates
- Applications requiring flexibility between fixed connection points
Available Connector Lengths
The 800-58-A1 connector family is available in eight lengths while maintaining the same 5/8" OD and 1/2" MIP x 1/2" MIP connection configuration.
- 12"
- 18"
- 24"
- 30"
- 36"
- 48"
- 60"
- 72"
Male x Male Connection Applications
The male x male connection configuration is designed for installations where both mating points provide compatible female threaded connections. Because both connector ends are 1/2" MIP, no change in nominal thread size occurs from one end of the connector to the other.
Confirm the connection type at both ends of the installation before ordering. A different connector configuration may be required when one or both mating components use male threads.

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm that a 5/8" OD gas connector is appropriate for the intended installation.
- Confirm that both required connections are 1/2" MIP.
- Verify that both mating components provide compatible female threaded connections.
- Select a connector length appropriate 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 connector damage.
- Route the connector so it is protected from physical damage.
- Inspect the connector, coating, and end fittings before installation.
- Avoid contact with sharp edges or surfaces that could damage the connector or coating.
- Use connection and sealing practices appropriate for the gas piping system and applicable requirements.
- 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
