what is this

[3t44]

this brass fitting seems to have 2 different thread styles...the OD of the small end is 20.5mm
the OD of the bigger end is 25mm. And the big end threads are finer.
What thread styles are these and what is this for??

Although I have no experience with flared connections, I'd say...
The smaller end is a tapered pipe thread, while the other end is a straight thread to accept a nut and is for a flared connection.So it's a flared by pipe thread adapter.
Does it matter what the nominal size is? Probably a 1/2" pipe thread x maybe 5/8" OD flare pipe connection.

it almost looks like the end of a flexible gas connector one end threads into a pipe the other end threads on to the threaded nut on the flex connector

First one is a diaphragm for a sloan flush valve. Second one you got me. I have been out of the field for 13 years.

some of you might be good to ask about this...
A new anode/nipple for a water heater is about 35$. Ridiculous. Thats 10% of the cost of a brand new Rheem water heater.
Can I make my own by fastening some aluminum rod to the existing worn out rod and re insert it?

Just STOP You should not play with fittings that you have no certification for using.
Need it be stated that attempting to work on gas without the proper training is DANGEROUS, DEADLY STUPID, AND FROWNED UPON BY THINKING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

is correct, we should not even discuss installing gas with home owners
when that damn yellow gas line first came out I cringed at the loss of life and property damage it will cause by homeowners

 

[Diehard]

Sorry i didn't see the discussion of gas with homeowners in this thread.
Had it been in the "Installed Gas Pipe then had pressure drop after 48 hours" thread, I would have understood.

get it right or dont post
btw I would install yellow gas line flex safer than most plumbers..and for a shtload less than they charge.
How you pro plumbers are getting away with 60$ an hour is proof that America is a joke. These days of pile it on pricing will collapse
in its own absurdity. And soon.
