Bonding Clamps
Quick-connect devices provide a safe and easy way to make connections to moveable out-
door gas appliances like barbecues and space heaters. Quick-connect devices used with
HOME-FLEX® gas piping systems must conform to ANSI Z21.15, CGA 9.1, 9.2, 6.9 and AGA/
CGA 7-90/CR94-001. A shut-o valve should be installed upstream of the quick-connect
device and remain in the o position when the quick-connect device is not in use. All instal-
lations and devices must conform with local codes. Quick-connect devices that can be used
with HOME-FLEX® gas piping systems include, but are not limited to, models in the M. B.
Sturgis 3/375 family of products.
