Boshart GAC-F8M8 Gas Appliance Connector, Yellow Polymer-Coated

The Boshart GAC-F8M8 Gas Appliance Connector is built to link a fixed gas piping system to a gas appliance using a 1/2" FIP x 1/2" MIP connection. This corrugated connector is available in 24" and 48" lengths, giving plumbers and gas fitters the flexibility to select the length that best matches the distance and routing needed for a given appliance hookup. Deep corrugations run the full length of every connector in this family, allowing the connector to flex and align rigid piping to the appliance without kinking or forcing the pipe into place. Every length in this range is covered in a yellow polymer coating that shields the corrugated core from ammonia, acids, chlorine, and other corrosive chemicals, as well as environmental factors like UV rays and sea salt exposure. Whether a job calls for the shorter 24" connector or the longer 48" option, the GAC-F8M8 family is a practical choice for rough-in and appliance hookup work where the connector may be exposed to harsh under-appliance or utility-area conditions over time.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1/2" FIP x 1/2" MIP connection sized for direct appliance-to-piping hookup across the entire family.
  • Length Range: Available in 24" and 48" lengths, so installers can match connector length to the appliance rough-in distance.
  • Flexible Corrugated Design: Deep corrugations run the full length of each connector, allowing it to flex and align the fixed piping system to the gas appliance without kinking.
  • Protective Yellow Polymer Coating: Covers the entire connector length to protect against ammonia, acids, chlorine, and other corrosive chemicals commonly found near gas appliances and utility rooms.
  • Environmental Resistance: The polymer coating also guards against UV rays and sea salt exposure, extending service life in coastal or outdoor-adjacent installations.
  • Easy Installation: Threaded FIP x MIP ends and a flexible corrugated body simplify connection to both the appliance and the fixed gas line during rough-in.
  • Bulk Packaging: Supplied 25 pieces per package, suited for contractors and distributors stocking gas appliance hookups.

Boshart GAC-F8M8-24 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What thread ends does the Boshart GAC-F8M8 gas connector have, and which end goes to the appliance?
The GAC-F8M8 is a 1/2 inch FIP by 1/2 inch MIP connector. The female (FIP) end threads onto a male nipple, and the male (MIP) end threads into a female port, so it will land on a 1/2 inch appliance inlet and a 1/2 inch stub-out without adapters. If both your gas valve and appliance inlet are female, you'll need a nipple or a different end configuration.
2) Which length should I order for a water heater or range hookup, 24 inch or 48 inch?
Two lengths are offered: 24 inch and 48 inch. Pick the 24 inch for tight, short runs where the gas stub-out sits close to the appliance inlet, like most water heaters. Go to 48 inch when the appliance sits away from the wall or you need to roll a range or dryer out for service without straining the connector. The corrugated body flexes to align rigid piping to the appliance, so a little extra length is easier to route than a connector pulled tight.
3) What is the part number for the 48 inch Boshart gas appliance connector?
The 48 inch version is GAC-F8M8-48 and the 24 inch is GAC-F8M8-24. Both share the same 1/2 inch FIP x 1/2 inch MIP ends and the same yellow polymer coating, so length is the only difference between them.
4) Why is this gas connector coated yellow, and does it hold up in a damp utility room or near the coast?
The yellow polymer coating runs the full length of the connector and shields the corrugated core from ammonia, acids, chlorine and other corrosive chemicals, plus UV rays and sea salt. That matters under a water heater in a laundry or pool equipment area where chlorine and ammonia vapors sit, and on coastal jobs where a bare corrugated connector corrodes at the crevices first.
5) Is the Boshart GAC-F8M8 sold individually or by the box?
It ships 25 pieces per package. That suits contractors and distributors stocking gas appliance hookups rather than someone needing one connector for a single call.
6) Can I use a flexible gas appliance connector instead of running hard pipe to the appliance?
A connector like the GAC-F8M8 is meant to make the final link between a fixed gas piping system and the appliance itself, not to replace the distribution piping. Its value is flexibility: the corrugated body aligns rigid pipe to the appliance inlet without forcing the pipe into place, which is what makes ranges and dryers serviceable. The fixed run up to the shutoff still gets hard pipe.
7) How much clearance do I need behind the appliance for this connector's fittings?
The connector body measures 1.060 inches in both height and width, so plan on roughly an inch of diameter clearance for the corrugated section plus room for a wrench on the threaded ends. Because the corrugations run the full length and flex without kinking, you can sweep the run rather than forcing a tight bend into a shallow cavity.
8) Does this Boshart connector carry a Prop 65 warning?
Yes. The GAC-F8M8 carries a California Prop 65 warning for cadmium. Institutional and government buyers who need that disclosure on file should record it with the submittal. Country of origin is China.
