Eastman 72-Inch Stainless Steel Gas Line Connector, Yellow Epoxy-Coated 3/8" OD with 3/4" x 1/2" MIP Fittings, UV-Resistant, 49,10

Eastman’s 72-inch epoxy-coated stainless steel gas connector is a flexible, UV-resistant hose kit that links common gas logs and moderate-use appliances to a shut-off valve for safe natural gas or propane delivery.

This yellow, corrugated stainless steel connector is built for both indoor and outdoor installations and is rated to handle up to 49,100 BTUs. Its epoxy finish helps resist rust, stains and UV exposure while the deep corrugations provide the flexibility needed to route the line without kinking. The kit ships with two compression fittings (3/4" MIP and 1/2" MIP) so it adapts to common shut-off valves and appliance inlets; a separate manual shut-off valve is not included.

How does the Eastman connector tolerate outdoor conditions?

The epoxy coating shields the metal substrate from moisture, chemical staining and sunlight, extending usable life in exposed installations. Stainless steel construction underneath the coating resists corrosion even in humid environments.

• Epoxy topcoat for UV and chemical resistance
• Stainless steel corrugated hose for rust resistance
• Approved for both indoor and outdoor placement

Will this hose fit my gas log kit or propane heater?

The 72" length and included compression fittings make this connector compatible with most gas log kits, space heaters and similar moderate-use appliances. It’s designed to connect appliance inlets to a manual shut-off valve when threads match the provided fittings.

• 72 inches long for flexible routing behind units
• 3/4" MIP and 1/2" MIP compression fittings included
• 3/8" outside diameter hose to match common appliance inlets

What safety and installation steps should I follow?

Installation requires basic hand tools and common gas-seal practices. Clean threads, apply an approved sealant, tighten fittings, then test all joints with a certified gas leak detection solution—do not use open flame to test.

• No specialty tools required; hand-tighten with appropriate wrenches
• Use gas-rated thread sealant and test with leak detection fluid
• Ensure fittings match valve and appliance threads before final connection

What performance rating and limits does this connector have?

This hose assembly supports gas mixtures of natural gas and liquid propane and carries a gas rating up to 49,100 BTUs—suitable for most stoves, water heaters and moderate-duty heaters. It is not intended for heavy industrial or high-demand commercial appliances beyond its rating.

• Rated: up to 49,100 BTUs
• Compatible gases: natural gas and LP (propane)
• Not supplied with a shut-off valve; kit includes hose and two compression fittings
