Appliance Connector Valve vs. Standard Ball Valve
Appliance Connector Valve
An appliance connector valve combines a threaded gas supply connection with a flare connection intended for compatible appliance connector installations.
Standard Ball Valve
A standard ball valve typically uses matching threaded or other connection types on both ends and may require additional adapters to connect an appliance connector.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.

What does F x Flare mean?
F x Flare indicates that the valve has one female pipe-thread connection and one flare connection.
What is this valve used for?
This valve is designed to provide manual gas shutoff at compatible residential or commercial appliance connector installations.
What material is the valve made from?
The supplied product information identifies the valve construction as brass.
Is this valve certified for gas service?
Yes. The supplied product information states that the valve is CSA certified for gas service.
How does the valve operate?
The valve uses quarter-turn ball valve operation for fast manual opening and closing.
What does full port mean?
A full-port ball valve is designed with a flow opening intended to minimize restriction through the valve body compared with reduced-port designs.
Can this valve connect directly to an appliance connector?
The flare connection is designed for compatible flared appliance connector fittings. Confirm the exact flare size and connection type before installation.
Are multiple sizes available?
Yes. The supplied product information states that the valve is available in multiple female pipe thread x flare connection sizes.
Should thread sealant be used on the flare connection?
Thread sealant is generally applied only where appropriate to tapered pipe threads. Flare connections seal at the mating flare surfaces and should be assembled according to applicable manufacturer and code requirements.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the female pipe thread size, flare size, appliance connector compatibility, gas service requirements, and applicable installation code requirements before ordering.
