Notes:
Flexible hoses can be used where the
sited ambient temperature of the hose
does not exceed 70°C. These hoses
must be manufactured in accordance
with BS669 part 1 and be of the correct
construction for the type of gas being
used.
Gas hoses designed for natural gas
MUST NOT be used for supplying LPG
gas (LPG gas hoses can be identified
by a either a red band or stripe on the
rubber outer coating of the hose).
The hose should not be crushed or
trapped or be in contact with sharp or
abrasive edges.
Using a suitable leak detection fluid
solution (e.g. Rocol) check each gas
connection one at a time by brushing
the solution over the connection.
The presence of bubbles will indicate a
leak. If there is a leak, tighten the fitting
and then recheck for leaks.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use a naked flame to test for
leaks.
