This epoxy-coated gas connector is designed to safely connect major appliances such as water heaters, dryers, and other gas-powered equipment to a shut-off valve. The 1/2 inch outer diameter connector measures 24 inches in length. Whether you’re replacing an aging connector, upgrading to a more durable option, or completing a new appliance installation, this Eastman connector offers reliable performance and long-lasting protection against corrosion and environmental degradation.
The epoxy coating protects the connector from rust, corrosion caused by household chemicals, and UV damage, making it suitable for use in garages, basements, utility closets, or exterior spaces. The coating is applied after comprehensive leak testing, delivering superior corrosion resistance compared to conventional spray or dip methods.
