Q: Can I use this connector with both natural gas and propane (LP)?
A: Yes, this connector is suitable for use with both natural gas and LP gas when properly installed according to local codes and manufacturer specifications.
Q: How much pull-out distance does a 48" connector provide?

A: The Krowne M7548K features commercial-grade stainless steel construction with a radial wrap that prevents stretching, antimicrobial PVC coating for easy cleaning, 360° rotational fittings for easy installation, and a lifetime warranty.
