Termination Fittings with Appliance Connectors
The HOME-FLEX® termination ange tting is designed to service moveable appliances and
quick-connect devices at oor
and hallow wall piping outlets
(Figure 4.16) in combination with
a HOME-FLEX® Flexible Appli-
ance Connector or similar
approved device. The termina-
tion outlet minimizes the need
for concealed ttings and makes
the installation of gas connec-
tions for moveable appliances
easy. The ange plate should be
securely fastened in place during
rough-in of the structure. It may
be attached to a brace spanning between wall
studs or directly to the oor.
As an alternative to the special termination ange,
a termination can be made with rigid pipe con-
nected to the main HOME-FLEX® system. The rigid
stub-out must be fastened to the wall or oor using
a pipe ange or other rigid mounting object.
Connections made between HOME-FLEX® and
moveable appliances must be made with a
HOME-FLEX® Flexible Appliance Connector, or sim-
ilar approved device.
Direct connections between HOME-FLEX® CSST
and moveable appliances are not allowed.
Direct Connection
In most localities, xed appliances may be directly
connected to HOME-FLEX® exible gas piping sys-
tems. When located in a secure dedicated place,
