Auto shutoff on disconnect The connector automatically stops gas flow when the hose is disconnected, helping to prevent leaks and improve safety during use and maintenance. Durable brass construction Built from solid brass for reliable performance and corrosion resistance in outdoor or use environments. Important compatibility notes Not for direct use with low pressure propane. If using propane, an adapter is required to convert a 3/8 inch BBQ fitting to a 3/8 inch pipe fitting. For natural gas, this connector is suited for connecting your house natural gas supply to the device, enabling a natural gas setup with the proper fittings. What this connector is used for Designed to connect a device to a natural gas supply from the house, providing a safe, shutoff connection with a durable brass body. Use scenarios Scenario 1: Installing an outdoor natural gas grill by connecting the grill to the home gas line using the appropriate 3/8 inch to 3/8 inch pipe fittings. Scenario 2: Setting up an outdoor gas appliance (such as a heater or other natural gas device) with a direct connection to the house supply, using the auto shutoff feature for added safety. Scenario 3: Reconfiguring a propane setup to a natural gas arrangement with the adapters, ensuring the 3/8 inch BBQ fitting is appropriately converted to a 3/8 inch pipe fitting before connection.
