BRASS CRAFT's ProCoat stainless steel gas connector is engineered with added safety in mind. The proprietary polymer coating is designed to withstand prolonged exposure to harsh household chemicals, UV rays and salt. Unlike conventional dipped or sprayed coatings, the ProCoat coating is baked directly onto the connector surface at high-temperatures to provide a uniform coating over the entire length of the connector. The coating is applied only after the connector has been 100% leak tested, prior to nut and fitting assembly. Coated black to conceal the connector in decorative hearth and gas log fireplace installations.
