Flex Lines & Gas Connectors
Flexible gas lines and connectors provide a safe, code-compliant way to connect a gas appliance to a nearby gas supply line. Their flexibility makes installation easier than rigid pipe in many situations, while still delivering a secure, leak-free connection when installed correctly.
Why Use a Flexible Gas Line
- Easier installation — flexibility simplifies routing around tight spaces compared to rigid pipe.
- Secure connection — quality flex lines are built with durable stainless steel construction.
- Reduces stress on fittings — some flexibility in the line can help absorb minor vibration or movement.
- Wide range of sizing — available in various lengths and diameters to fit different installations.
What to Consider When Buying a Flex Line
- Length & diameter — measure the distance between your gas supply and appliance connection point.
- Pressure rating — confirm the connector is rated for your appliance's gas pressure requirements.
- Natural gas vs. propane — verify compatibility with your fuel type.
- Local code compliance — some jurisdictions have specific requirements for flexible gas connectors.
