VectorFlex™ CSST

VectorFlex CSST flexible gas line is made from annealed, type 304 stainless steel and is coated with a yellow polyethylene jacket that protects it from chemicals and underground use. The jacket is made of flame-retardant material and is ASTM E84 compliant.

Additional Features

VectorFlex CSST is connected using ready-to-install, Easyflex® QuickFlare™ mechanical brass fittings, which are US Patented and designed to be used specifically for VectorFlex.

Easyflex QuickFlare fittings have standard NPT threads and may be used in combination with all approved fuel gas pipe nipples, valves, regulators, manifolds and accessory fittings.

System components such as manifolds, tees and stub-outs assembled to fit with threaded ends of Easyflex QuickFlare fittings and approved by national and or local authorities for use in gas distribution systems are allowed.

Strike protection is available as steel plates and flexible sleeves, approved for use in gas line installation.

The system can be used with different variations on code accepted manifold or parallel installation

VectorFlex-Z™ CSST

VectorFlex-Z CSST flexible gas line shares the same features as the VectorFlex CSST, with an added feature-a specially formulated protective jacket that help protects it from the damages caused by lightning strikes.

Additional Features

The VectorFlex-Z flexible CSST has been tested in accordance with the American National Standard for Fuel Gas Systems Using Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing, ANSI LC1/CSA 6.26.

The VectorFlex-Z CSST is compatible with all recognized fuel gases, including Natural Gas and Propane.

Easyflex QuickFlare fittings have standard NPT threads and may be used in combination with all approved fuel gas pipe nipples, valves, regulators, manifolds and accessory fittings.

Strike protection is available as steel plates and flexible sleeves, approved for use in gas line installation.

The system can be used with different variations on code accepted manifold or parallel installations.
