Hook 2 appliance connectors together?

Can you do this? What is the limit on how many appliance connectors that can be joined together?

Appliance connectors cannot be attached to appliance connectors - that’s the rule.

Appliance connectors are to be attached to the gas-piping and the appliance, that’s all.

What I thought. Thank a lot Jeff.

We don’t even have to talk about the 90 deg bend either.:smiley:

Looks like they did that to get a shut-off valve.

Homeowners simply don’t use their brains at times.

I’m pretty sure this was done by a highly trained, but slightly drunk, HVAC professoinal.

In addition, appliance connectors are limited to 3’ in length … except for ranges and dryers which can be 6’ in length. That appears to be a gas supply for a furnace on a forced air heat/cool system (with a condensate drain visible), in which case it would be 3’ max.

Also, the shut-off valve must be before the appliance connector.
