Flexible Gas Connector Design
The flexible corrugated construction allows the connector to accommodate practical routing between fixed gas piping and compatible appliances or equipment. This can simplify final equipment connections where exact rigid-pipe alignment would otherwise be difficult.
Connector length should be selected according to the actual distance and routing required for the installation. The connector should have sufficient length for proper positioning without being stretched, sharply bent, kinked, twisted, or unnecessarily oversized for the application.
Why Choose a Yellow Coated Gas Connector?
Flexible Installation
- Accommodates practical routing between connection points
- Useful where rigid piping alignment is difficult
- Provides flexibility between fixed piping and equipment
- Multiple lengths accommodate different installation layouts
- Helps simplify final appliance and equipment connections
Multiple Length Options
- Short 12" and 18" options for nearby connections
- 24", 30", and 36" intermediate lengths
- 48", 60", and 72" options for longer connection distances
- Allows connector length to be matched more closely to the installation
- One listing covers the complete 80058 length range
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.
Avoid selecting excessive length simply to create additional slack. Proper routing should minimize sharp bends, twisting, kinking, crushing, and contact with surfaces that could damage the connector.
