Description
5/8" OD Yellow Coated Gas Connector with Angle Ball Valve - 3/4" FIP x 3/4" FIP
Charman Inc 5/8" OD Yellow Coated Gas Connectors with Angle Ball Valve provide a flexible gas connection with an integrated angled shutoff valve configuration. This family features a 3/4" FIP connection on one end and a 3/4" FIP angle ball valve connection on the other, with available lengths from 12" through 72" for different installation layouts.
The flexible corrugated connector construction helps bridge fixed gas piping and compatible equipment where rigid-pipe alignment may be impractical. Female threaded connections at both ends are designed for compatible 3/4" male threaded connection points, while the integrated angle ball valve provides shutoff capability and a directional connection at the valve end.

Understanding the Connection Configuration
This connector has a 3/4" FIP connection on one end and a 3/4" FIP angle ball valve on the other. Both ends provide female threaded connections for compatible 3/4" male threaded components.
Because both connections use the same 3/4" nominal pipe size, this configuration provides a female-to-female connection without changing nominal thread size while adding an angled shutoff valve.
Why Choose a Connector with an Angle Ball Valve?
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
Integrated Angle Shutoff
- Includes an angle ball valve
- Provides an accessible shutoff point within the connection assembly
- 3/4" FIP valve-side connection
- 3/4" FIP connection on the opposite end
- Angle configuration can help accommodate directional piping layouts
Choosing the Correct Length
Measure the distance and planned routing between the gas supply and 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.

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm that a 5/8" OD gas connector is appropriate for the intended installation.
- Confirm the required connection configuration is 3/4" FIP x 3/4" FIP with angle ball valve.
- Verify that both FIP connections mate with compatible 3/4" male threaded connections.
- Confirm the angle ball valve orientation is appropriate for the piping layout.
- Confirm the valve will remain accessible after installation.
- 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, valve, 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
Connection & Valve Configuration
This family uses 3/4" FIP connections at both ends, with an angle ball valve incorporated at one end. Confirm that both mating components provide compatible 3/4" male threaded connections and that the valve orientation suits the installation.
Connector Length
Select from 12", 18", 24", 30", 36", 48", 60", or 72" according to the required installation distance and routing. Choose a length that permits proper installation without stretching or excessive slack.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this gas connector?
This connector family has a 5/8" outside diameter with 3/4" FIP female threaded connections on both ends.
What connections does this connector have?
It has a 3/4" FIP female threaded connection on both ends, with an angle ball valve incorporated at one end.
Does this connector include a shutoff valve?
Yes. This connector configuration includes an angle ball valve at one of the 3/4" FIP connections.
What is the difference between an angle ball valve and a straight ball valve?
An angle ball valve changes the direction of the connection at the valve, while a straight ball valve keeps the connection in line. Select the configuration that best matches the piping layout.
What lengths are available?
This listing includes 12", 18", 24", 30", 36", 48", 60", and 72" lengths.
What does FIP mean?
FIP identifies a female threaded pipe connection. Both ends of this connector use 3/4" FIP connections.
Are both threaded connections the same size?
Yes. Both threaded connections are 3/4" FIP.
What mating connections are required?
Both 3/4" FIP connections require compatible 3/4" male threaded connections.
Should the angle ball valve remain accessible?
Yes. Position the valve so it remains accessible for normal operation and service.
Should gas connections be leak-tested after installation?
Yes. Completed gas connections should be leak-tested using an appropriate method before the connected equipment is placed into service.
