Description of System Components
2.11 HOME-FLEX® Appliance Connectors
HOME-FLEX® CSST cannot be used to make direct connections to moveable appliances like
gas ranges or clothes dryers (see Section 4.7 on page 32). Connection to these appliances
should be made from a HOME-FLEX® Termination Flange tting to a HOME-FLEX® Appliance
Connector, or comparable device. Appliance connectors are available coated and uncoated
in lengths of 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60 and 72 inches with a variety of end ttings. Browse the
full product line at homeex.com. Determine the correct appliance connector for your appli-
cation by identifying the required length to connect the gas outlet to the appliance inlet and
select the series that oers a maximum ow rate greater than the maximum demand of the
appliance.
