VectorFlex and VectorFlex-Z are flexible CSST that were engineered and manufactured to address the problems associated with rigid pipe applications. Because of the flexible nature of both VectorFlex and VectorFlex-Z, both can be used in locations where traditional rigid pipes can’t. Within the confines of a gas pipe system, VectorFlex and VectorFlex-Z can bend around obstacles and snake through walls and crawl spaces without the use of joints or elbows and this can be done as a single continuous run of tubing. The CSST is pulled through the structure similar in fashion to electrical wiring.
To round out the overall gas piping system, VectorFlex and VectorFlex-Z are connected with specifically designed, ready-to-install US Patented, Easyflex® QuickFlare™ mechanical fittings. These self-flaring fittings have standard NPT threads and can be used with accessories, such as valves, regulators, and manifolds. In addition, QuickFlare fittings can be removed and reused on different sections of the pipe.

VectorFlex CSST flexible gas lines are made from annealed, type 304 stainless steel for superior flexibility and purity and features a polyethylene jacket that helps prevent damage from chemicals and underground/outdoor use. This yellow polyethylene jacket is fused with a flame-retardant material classifying it as ASTM E84-compliant, meeting the requirements for flame spread and smoke density. This allows the jacket to remain intact throughout a building’s gas delivery system, maximizing its protective characteristics.

QuickFlare fittings are US patented and are specifically designed and engineered to work seamlessly with VectorFlex and VectorFlex-Z. These fittings feature standard NPT threads and are approved by national and/or local authorities for use in gas distribution systems. QuickFlare fittings are self-flaring and can be removed, inspected, and reused on portions of the VectorFlex and VectorFlex-Z CSST. Installers do not have to open or reassemble QuickFlare fittings, as they are pre-calibrated and come ready-to-install from the factory without the need for special tools or equipment.
