4.6 Appliance
4.6.1 Moveable Appliance
a) For use with movable appliances, FlashShield™ must be rigidly terminated before the appliance connection. is fixed
connection point allows for the attachment of flexible appliance connectors, drip legs (if required), and shut off valves to
moveable appliances such as dryers and ranges (Figures 4-59 and 4-60)
b) e Appliance Stub-Out is mounted to a stud face (Fig. 4-61) and provides a fixed point to which a FlashShield™
mechanical fitting may be attached. e design of this stub-out ensures that the flexible tubing is routed away from any
points of constraint that may subject the tubing to potential puncture threats.
c) e Straight Stub provides a fixed point for the FlashShield™ mechanical fitting and a stable platform for service meter
connections. e Straight Stub may be mounted to the face of a stud (Fig. 4-62) or mounted to an optional Stub Bracket
with supplied self-drilling metal screws (Fig. 4-63). e optional bracket is designed to span typical stud construction. e
compact design of the straight stub allows for multiple stub-outs within the stud cavity.
e Straight Stub may also be used to pass through joist and wall constructions (Fig. 4-64). It is important to follow all
requirements for sleeving when passing through masonry construction.
