Looks like something off a gas log set.

What’s this for ?

 

[Julie H]

It's for connecting a gas line/hose to a gas space heater.

Contact the manufacturer of the appliance.

Went to a plumbing supply store and found what I need.

Which one ? I’d like to buy a couple.

I don't know the proper names for the adapters. I went to a small hardware store that sells supplies for gas space heaters. Told him what I need and he put it together. Got it home and attached it to my gas pipe connection and then to my new Mr. Heater Natural Gas Vent-Free Blue Flame Wall Heater. Everything fits well. Now I need plumber tape to have a secure connection, then test for leaks and I'm set for IF we get cold weather.

Here are some pictures of the adapters and the hose line (with label).

Be careful when using Teflon tape. If a little piece gets in the gas line it will block the orifice. I use pipe dope on gas

Does pipe dope get hard? I'm concerned about using a solvent and not being about to disconnect the heater after winter.
