Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the typical service life of your LP gas rubber hose?
Service life depends heavily on application conditions (pressure cycles, exposure, bending). Under normal operating conditions and with proper care, our hoses are designed for several years of service. We recommend regular inspection and replacement every 3-5 years as a general safety guideline, or as dictated by your internal safety protocols.
Can this hose be used for other gases or fluids?
No. This hose is specifically designed and certified for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG: propane, butane, and their mixtures). Using it for other media (e.g., acetylene, oxygen, water, oil) is not recommended and can be dangerous, as material compatibility and safety standards differ.
How should I store and maintain these hoses?
Store coiled in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, ozone sources (like motors), and chemicals. Avoid sharp bends or kinks during storage. Before each use, perform a visual inspection for cracks, cuts, blistering, or fitting damage. Never use a hose that shows signs of wear or damage.
Do you provide hoses with end fittings attached?
Yes. We offer a complete hose assembly service. You can order the LP gas rubber hose cut to your exact length and crimped with high-quality brass or steel fittings (swivel nuts, ferrules) to your specification, ready for immediate installation.
What certifications do your products hold?
Our hoses are manufactured to comply with key international standards such as EN 1762 (Rubber hoses and hose assemblies for liquefied petroleum gas), and are often marked accordingly. We can provide specific certification documentation upon request for qualifying orders.
