The Eastman 5/8-IN OD gas connector is designed to connect most major brands of gas ranges, boilers, and high-usage appliances to a shut-off valve. The connector is certified for use with most ranges and boilers with gas ratings up to 106,000 BTUs. This gas connector includes an ArmorBoost EFV (thermal excess flow valve). The ArmorBoost EFV from Eastman is designed to help protect you and your family from catastrophic ruptures or disconnects in your gas line. The ArmorBoost valve immediately restricts gas flow to help protect you from the build-up of flammable gas. The valve will remain activated until the gas line is properly repaired. For added protection, the ArmorBoost EFV features a special fire-safe thermal ring that expands to stop gas flow when extreme temperatures of 350Degree plus are reached. DuraCoat Epoxy Coating provides extra protection from corrosion, chemical stains from common household products, and UV rays and is approved for indoor/outdoor use. includes (1) 48-IN 5/8-IN OD epoxy-coated gas connector, (1) 1/2-IN MIP (Tapped 3/8-IN FIP) fitting, (1) 1/2-IN MIP (Tapped 3/8-IN FIP) ArmorBoost EFV auto shut-off valve.
Ideal for large demand appliances such as 5-burner+ gas ranges, furnaces and smaller BTU residential tankless water heaters
Use with natural, manufactured, mixed and liquefied petroleum (LP or propane) gases and LP gas-air mixtures
Smooth, burnished connector ends seal with less torque, making installation easier
High tensile strength stainless steel is less susceptible to work hardening
Deep corrugations enhance flexibility and maneuverability of connector during installation
