Description
5/8" OD Yellow Coated Gas Connector with Angle Ball Valve - 3/4" MIP 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" MIP 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. The integrated angle ball valve provides an accessible shutoff point while helping accommodate installations where a directional change at the valve connection is useful.

Understanding the Connection Configuration
This connector has a 3/4" MIP connection on one end and a 3/4" FIP angle ball valve on the other. The MIP end provides a male threaded connection, while the valve end provides a female threaded connection.
Both connections use the same 3/4" nominal pipe size. The angle-valve configuration provides shutoff capability while changing the orientation of the valve-side connection.
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" MIP connector-side connection
- Angle configuration can help with space-conscious connection 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.

Angle Ball Valve Connection
The angle ball valve provides an integrated shutoff point at the 3/4" FIP end of the connector assembly. Its angled configuration can be useful where the piping layout requires a directional change at the valve connection.
Confirm valve orientation, accessibility, thread sizes, and available installation space before ordering.

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" MIP x 3/4" FIP with angle ball valve.
- Verify that the 3/4" MIP end mates with a compatible female threaded connection.
- Verify that the 3/4" FIP valve end mates with a compatible male threaded connection.
- 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 a 3/4" MIP connection on one end and a 3/4" FIP angle ball valve on the other. Confirm both thread types and that the angled valve configuration matches the available installation space.
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 a 3/4" MIP connection and a 3/4" FIP angle ball valve connection.
What connections does this connector have?
It has a 3/4" MIP male threaded connection on one end and a 3/4" FIP female threaded angle ball valve on the other.
Does this connector include a shutoff valve?
Yes. This connector configuration includes an angle ball valve at the 3/4" FIP end.
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 MIP mean?
MIP identifies a male threaded pipe connection. The connector end in this family is 3/4" MIP.
What does FIP mean?
FIP identifies a female threaded pipe connection. The angle ball valve end in this family is 3/4" FIP.
Are both threaded connections the same nominal size?
Yes. Both connections are 3/4" nominal size, but one is male and the valve-side connection is female.
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.
