Function & Importance of the Gas Connector

A flexible gas connector provides the connection between a compatible gas appliance and the building's gas shut-off valve or gas supply connection. Its flexible stainless steel construction allows the appliance to be positioned while maintaining the required gas connection.

The 30SS505048 uses uncoated 304-series stainless steel and zinc-plated steel S45C fittings. EZ-FLO's catalogue identifies this construction for its Steel-Flex EZ-30 series connectors.

Correct connector dimensions and fitting types are essential for a proper installation. Using the wrong connector size, connection type, or configuration can prevent proper installation and create a potentially dangerous gas leak.

Common Reasons to Replace a Gas Connector

A flexible gas connector may require replacement when:

• The existing connector is damaged or deteriorated

• The connector has visible corrosion or physical damage

• The existing connector is the wrong length for a replacement appliance

• The appliance is being replaced and a new connector is required for the installation

• The existing fittings or connection configuration do not match the new installation requirements

• A qualified gas technician recommends replacing the existing connector

A gas connector should not be reused simply because it appears to be in good condition. Follow applicable installation requirements and the appliance manufacturer's instructions when replacing a gas appliance or connector.

Will Replacing the Gas Connector Fix My Gas Appliance Problem?

A gas connector is an installation component rather than an appliance operating component. Replacing it will not normally repair an internal appliance fault.

However, if the existing connector is damaged, improperly sized, incompatible with the installation, or requires replacement as part of a new gas-appliance installation, the correct connector is an important part of completing the installation safely.

If you suspect a gas leak, shut off the gas supply if it is safe to do so and contact a qualified gas professional immediately. Do not attempt to repair or modify a gas connector yourself.

Installation Overview

Gas connector installation should be treated as a professional installation whenever possible.

Because this component carries fuel gas, improper installation can result in gas leakage, fire, explosion, property damage, serious injury, or death. A qualified gas appliance installer or licensed gas technician should verify the appliance, connector, fittings, gas type, installation configuration, and applicable Canadian requirements before installation.

Do not kink, modify, cut, extend, or alter the connector. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable local gas codes.
