What is the maximum length of a Corrugated Flexible Connector when installed on a range?

The maximum length of a Corrugated Flexible Connector when installed on a range is 6 feet. This specification is set to ensure safe and effective connections within gas appliances. Corrugated Flexible Connectors are designed to accommodate movement and vibration that can occur during normal operation of appliances. If the connector is too long, it may lead to mechanical issues such as excessive bending or stress on the connections, which could pose safety risks such as gas leaks or improper functioning of the appliance.

Regulating the length to a maximum of 6 feet helps maintain the integrity and safety of the installation while providing sufficient flexibility for appliance placement. This standard is part of best practices in gas appliance installations to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to mitigate potential hazards.
