Abstract

This standard applies to newly produced gas appliance connectors, constructed entirely of new unused parts and materials, having nominal internal diameters of ¹/₄, ³/₈, ¹/₂, ⁵/₈, ³/₄ and 1 in, and having fittings at both ends provided with taper pipe threads for connection to a gas appliance and to house piping. This standard covers assembled appliance connectors not exceeding a nominal length of 6 ft (1.83 m). Connectors listed under this standard are intended for use with gas appliances that are not frequently moved after installation. <br>For the purpose of this standard, an unused connector, including end fittings, is considered to be a connector which has not been installed. <br>Appliance connectors complying with this standard are considered suitable for use with natural, manufactured, mixed and liquefied petroleum gases and LP gas-air mixtures. <br>Appliance connectors complying with this standard are for use with piping systems having fuel gas pressures not in excess of ¹/₂ lb/in² (3.5 kPa). <br>If a value for measurement as given in this standard is followed by an equivalent value in other units, the first stated value is to be regarded as the specification. <br>All references to psi throughout this standard are to be considered gauge pressure unless otherwise specified. <br>Exhibit A contains provisions that are unique to Canada. <br>Exhibit B contains a list of standards specifically referenced in this standard, and sources from which these reference standards may be obtained.
