What Is a 5/8" OD Uncoated Connector?
A 5/8" OD uncoated connector provides a flexible connection between compatible piping and equipment connections. Its flexible construction helps accommodate spacing and alignment where a rigid connection may be less practical.
This A9 configuration incorporates a 1/2" FIP connection on one end and a 3/4" FIP straight ball valve on the other. The valve provides a convenient shutoff point while the flexible connector helps accommodate the required routing between connection points.
