4.6 Connections
4.6.1
Movable Appliance Connections
Terminations with appliance connectors:
Movable appliances such as gas ranges and dryers must be
connected to the CSST system using an approved appliance
connector. Connection to the Parflex system can be made
at a flange fitting terminated outside the wall eliminating
concealed fittings. The straight or elbow appliance stub-out
mounted to the stud face can be used to provide an uncon-
strained tubing connection away from penetration threats.
An appliance stubout (Parker Part No. ASO1/2) can also be
used to provide a rigidly mounted stubout for all movable ap-
pliances. This stubout gives only a 1 inch projection past the
wall board in areas where space is limited.

4.6.2
Non-Movable Appliance Connections
Direct Connections —
The Parflex system may be directly
connected to non-movable appliances such as furnaces,
boilers, water heaters and permanently mounted ranges
or cook-tops. This direct connection eliminates the need
for a termination or appliance connector. The term direct
connections is not to eliminate the need for drip legs or
shut-off valves where required by code.
4.6.3
Specific Applications
Barbecue Grills

Connections to movable grills must be made by
terminating the Parflex System (see section 4.6.1
Movable Appliance Connections) and using an outdoor
appliance connector.
•
The Parflex system provides a quick disconnect device
(part number
