Description
Pro-Flex Angle Bracket with Fitting
Pro-Flex Angle Bracket with Fitting provides a convenient termination and mounting solution for Pro-Flex CSST gas piping installations. The angled metal bracket combines structural support with an integrated fitting, providing a secure transition point between CSST gas tubing and threaded gas-system components.
Available for 1/2" and 3/4" Pro-Flex CSST, these brackets are designed for use where a supported termination point is required. The angled bracket configuration provides a practical mounting surface while positioning the threaded fitting for connection to valves and other compatible gas-system components.

What Is a Pro-Flex Angle Bracket with Fitting?
The Pro-Flex Angle Bracket with Fitting combines a mounting bracket and CSST fitting into a single termination assembly. It is designed to provide a supported connection point where Pro-Flex CSST transitions to threaded gas-system components.
The angled metal bracket can be secured to the building structure or another appropriate mounting surface, helping support the fitting and providing a defined termination point for the gas piping installation.
This configuration is particularly useful when installing gas valves or other components that require support rather than relying on the CSST tubing itself to hold the connected equipment in position.
Why Use an Angle Bracket?
Supported Termination
- Provides a defined termination point for Pro-Flex CSST
- Helps support connected fittings and components
- Provides a mounting surface for rough-in installations
- Useful where a rigidly supported gas connection is required
- Helps organize CSST termination locations
Integrated Fitting
- Bracket and fitting are combined into one assembly
- Designed specifically for Pro-Flex CSST installations
- Provides threaded connection options for downstream components
- Available in two common CSST tube sizes
- Simplifies installation compared with assembling separate mounting and termination components
Available Connection Sizes
PFBK-12 – 1/2"
The PFBK-12 is designed for 1/2" Pro-Flex CSST and incorporates a fitting with 1/2" MIP and 3/8" FIP threaded connection options.
PFBK-34 – 3/4"
The PFBK-34 is designed for 3/4" Pro-Flex CSST and incorporates a fitting with 3/4" MIP and 1/2" FIP threaded connection options.
Common Applications

- Wall-mounted gas connections
- Supported threaded transitions
- Mechanical gas piping installations
Gas Valve Installations
- Gas-valve connection points
- Fireplace and hearth gas rough-ins
- Appliance gas piping terminations
- Locations requiring additional fitting support
- Residential and light-commercial gas piping systems
Pro-Flex CSST System Compatibility
These angle brackets are designed as termination components for the Pro-Flex CSST gas piping system. Pro-Flex CSST provides a flexible alternative to rigid black steel gas piping and is used for natural-gas and propane installations.
The Pro-Flex product guide identifies its fitting system for use with both traditional Pro-Flex Yellow CSST and Flak Jacket arc-resistant CSST. Always confirm that the specific tubing, fitting, valve, and termination components selected for an installation are compatible with the applicable Pro-Flex system and installation requirements.
Bracket Support for Gas Valves
Pro-Flex specifically identifies the Angle Bracket with Fitting as a means of providing support for a valve when connecting with Pro-Flex CSST. This makes the bracket particularly useful in fireplace, hearth, and other gas-valve installations where the valve and threaded connection require a supported mounting point.
The bracket provides a more structured termination than leaving the CSST fitting unsupported and gives the installer a defined location for transitioning from flexible gas tubing to compatible threaded components.
Installation Considerations
- Select the bracket that matches the Pro-Flex CSST tube size being installed.
- Verify the required MIP and FIP connection sizes before ordering.
- Secure the mounting bracket to an appropriate structural or mounting surface.
- Use only compatible Pro-Flex CSST tubing, fittings, and installation components.
- Follow current Pro-Flex installation instructions when preparing and connecting CSST tubing.
- Verify that connected valves and other components are properly supported.
- Confirm that all threaded connections are appropriate for the gas piping application.
- Leak-test completed gas piping connections in accordance with applicable requirements.
- Follow applicable fuel-gas codes and local installation requirements.
- Gas piping installation should be completed by qualified personnel.
Choosing the Correct Model
Choose PFBK-12 When
- The installation uses 1/2" Pro-Flex CSST
- A 1/2" MIP connection is required
- A 3/8" FIP connection is required
- A supported 1/2" CSST termination is needed
Choose PFBK-34 When
- The installation uses 3/4" Pro-Flex CSST
- A 3/4" MIP connection is required
- A 1/2" FIP connection is required
- A supported 3/4" CSST termination is needed
