1200mm 3/8" Male SAE x 3/8" Male BSP High Pressure Gas Hose (Orange) is a specific type of flexible gas hose used for high-pressure gas applications. Here's a breakdown of the key features and usage:
1200mm Length:
The hose is 1200mm (or 1.2 meters) long. This length provides enough flexibility for connecting gas equipment, such as regulators and appliances, when they are spaced further apart.
3/8" Male SAE to 3/8" Male BSP:
3/8" Male SAE: One end of the hose has a 3/8" Male SAE fitting, which is a standard fitting used in various industrial applications. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) threads are commonly found in hydraulic and gas systems. The male fitting has external threads.
3/8" Male BSP: The other end of the hose features a 3/8" Male BSP fitting. BSP (British Standard Pipe) is another common thread system for gas connections, typically used in Europe, the UK, and other regions. BSP fittings are used for gas, water, and industrial applications. Like the SAE fitting, this is a male connection with external threads.
High Pressure:
This hose is designed to handle high-pressure gas. High-pressure hoses are built with stronger, reinforced materials to ensure they can withstand the demands of high-pressure systems typically used in industrial or commercial settings.
Orange Color:
The orange color indicates that this hose is specifically designed for gas applications. The color also helps with easy identification and visibility, ensuring it is clear that it is used for gas systems.
Industrial & Commercial Use: Often used in commercial kitchens, industrial applications, or outdoor settings where high-pressure gas is required.
Gas Regulators and Appliances: This hose can be used to connect gas regulators to appliances like burners, heaters, or other equipment that require a stable, high-pressure gas supply.
Heavy-Duty Outdoor Equipment: Perfect for large-scale outdoor equipment such as industrial grills, heating systems, or other high-demand appliances.
Ensure Compatibility:
3/8" Male SAE and 3/8" Male BSP are different types of fittings, so check that both the appliance and the gas source (or regulator) have the appropriate corresponding fittings. Be sure you have the correct adapters or connectors if the connections are incompatible.
Proper Tightening:
Use the correct tools to tighten the hose's connections. Typically, wrenches should be used to tighten both ends of the hose. However, avoid over-tightening, as this could damage the threads or fittings. Tighten them enough to create a secure connection.
Leak Testing:
Before using the hose, always test for leaks. You can do this by using a soapy water solution or a gas leak detector. Apply the solution to the connection points and check for bubbles, which indicate leaks. If any leaks are found, turn off the gas and address the issue before proceeding.
Pressure Rating:
Ensure that the high-pressure rating of the hose matches the pressure required by your gas system. High-pressure hoses are designed to handle pressure ranges typical for industrial or commercial applications, but you should always verify that the hose is rated appropriately for your specific setup.
Inspect for Wear:
Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or physical damage. If you notice any damage, replace the hose immediately to prevent gas leaks or other safety hazards.
Proper Storage:
When not in use, store the hose in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing the hose to excessive heat, sunlight, or chemicals, as these can degrade the material and reduce its effectiveness and safety.
Handling and Usage:
When installing the hose, make sure it’s not under stress or tension, as this could cause damage or leakage. Allow the hose to remain flexible during installation.
Gas Leak Detection: Always check for leaks after installation, and during use, periodically inspect the hose and connections for leaks or damage.
Do Not Use a Flame: When checking for leaks, never use an open flame. Always use a gas leak detector or soapy water.
Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in areas where gas appliances are used to prevent any risk of gas accumulation.
