FlashShield™ System
FlashShield™ CSST provides the highest lightning resistivity and is the only metallically-shielded gas piping on the market. FlashShield meets strict criteria of LC1027. CSST supplies natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas to appliances with safety and flexibility. Simple hand tools such as tubing cutters, wrenches and utility knives are all that are needed to work with the FlashShield components. Click here to get your FREE FlashShield Factsheet.
XR3 fittings are designed with a patented feature that contours the metallic shield of FlashShield CSST. This creates electrical continuity throughout the system. The XR3 fitting requires minimal torque for easy fitting installation. With no o-rings or gaskets, the reusable brass components provide a reliable metal-to-metal seat.
