Boshart GAC-F8M8 Gas Appliance Connector, Yellow Polymer-Coated, 1/2" FIP x 1/2" MIP

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.
