 CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL THIS PRODUCT UNTIL YOU READ 

AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE 

INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY 

DAMAGE OR PRODUCT FAILURE. 

The PLUS

®

 gas connector combines two state-of-the-

art technologies for a safer installation for your home and family.  
PLUS

®

 gas connectors feature ProCoat

®

, a coating specially 

engineered to resist the corrosion from harsh chemicals found in 
most household cleaning and plumbing repair products.  Approved 
for indoor and outdoor use, ProCoat

®

 is also formulated to resist the 

harsh effect of UV rays & salt.
The PLUS

®

 excess flow valve bypass (EFVB), an automatic 

safety valve for gas. In the event of a gas line rupture or 
disconnection at the appliance, the PLUS

®

 valve immediately 

restricts gas flow to a non-hazardous level (a bypass flow) to avert 
the potential for a dangerous release of gas into the home.  Only 
after the gas line has been properly repaired, the bypass flow 
automatically resets the valve, resuming gas flow to the appliance.

 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

APPLICATION:

•      Use only on low pressure natural and LP gas piping systems.  DO NOT USE on  

pipelines or piping systems that transfer or move liquids, including high-pressure  

liquid petroleum.

•      Use only with gas line pressures at a minimum of .5 in. water column (W.C.) and 

not greater than 1/2 psig. (14 in. W.C.) at the stub out. 

•      Use only in connection with residential and commercial gas appliances, 

not subject to frequent movement, where the EFV in installed immediately 

downstream of the gas supply stub out and manual gas shut-off valve.

TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION

•     (2) 10 in. adjustable wrenches                 •     Leak detection solution  
•     Pipe thread sealant                               •     Wire brush & rag

SIZING THE CONNECTOR FOR 
YOUR APPLIANCE

1.     Measure the distance between the gas 

supply stub out and the appliance pulled 

away from the stub out at it’s maximum 

distance.  Add 2 – 3 in. to the measured 

distance for appropriate connector 

length for the installation. (See Fig. A)

®

 Excess Flow Valve

2.

     

Identify the maximum (gas) input 
rating of the appliance (referred to 

as “input rating”). Manufacturer’s 

label, located near the gas inlet of the 

appliance will contain this information. 

(See Fig. B) Contact the appliance 

manufacturer if you are unsure of the 
correct rating for the appliance.

3.     Select the PLUS

®

 gas   

connector with the capacity closest to 
but GREATER THAN the input rating of 
the appliance (Figure C)

WARNING:

 With the PLUS 

valve, the maximum gas input rating 

of the appliance must be within 

the flow capacity range of the gas 

connector.  If the PLUS gas 

connector is not properly sized to 

the application, the PLUS 

 connector may not activate in 

the event of a gas line rupture or 

disconnect. If the PLUS gas 

connector is undersized for the 

appliance, it may activate prematurely 

restricting gas flow during normal 
operation of the appliance. 

4.     Finally, select the connector with the end fittings that match the outlet of your 

manual gas shut-off valve and the gas inlet to the appliance. (Figure D)
