$37.00
450mm Type F LCC27 Gas Hose - 1/4" MNPT Pigtail is a specialized gas hose designed for use in connecting appliances to gas cylinders or regulators. Here’s a breakdown of the key components and features:
450mm Length:
This hose is 450mm long, which is approximately 45 cm. This length provides flexibility for connecting gas appliances, regulators, or cylinders while maintaining safety and convenience. It is a relatively short hose, typically used in compact or space-limited installations.
Type F:
Type F could refer to a specific classification of the hose, typically in relation to its construction or usage standards. In some cases, Type F hoses are used for certain applications like fuel gas systems or in cylindrical applications.
LCC27 may refer to a product code or series, often used to identify the specific design and safety standards of the hose.
LCC27 (Product Series or Specification):
LCC27 could refer to a specific series of gas hoses designed for low-pressure gas systems. This series is intended for use in gas installations where low-pressure gas is being supplied to appliances like grills, heaters, or stoves.
1/4" MNPT (Male National Pipe Thread):
1/4" MNPT refers to the 1/4 inch Male National Pipe Thread fitting on both ends of the hose.
MNPT indicates that the hose has a male threaded fitting, which is typically used to connect to female-threaded fittings, such as those found on regulators, appliances, or cylinders.
1/4" refers to the size of the threads, specifically a 1/4 inch diameter. This size is commonly used for low-pressure gas applications.
Pigtail:
The term pigtail refers to the flexible, coiled hose that is commonly used for connecting gas regulators or appliances. The pigtail design allows for flexibility, movement, and easier adjustments in tight spaces.
It is often used for gas cylinders to connect the gas source to the equipment, such as propane or natural gas systems.
Gas Hose:
This hose is designed for gas applications, likely propane or natural gas. It is typically used in connecting gas appliances to gas regulators or cylinders. The hose is constructed to withstand the pressure and specific conditions associated with gas systems.
The 450mm Type F LCC27 Gas Hose - 1/4" MNPT Pigtail is commonly used in various commercial and residential gas applications where a flexible, short hose is required for connecting:
Gas Cylinders to Regulators: It can be used to connect gas cylinders (e.g., propane or natural gas cylinders) to regulators or appliances.
Appliance Connections: Ideal for connecting small appliances like grills, outdoor heaters, stoves, or furnaces.
Mobile Equipment: Useful for portable or mobile equipment that requires frequent connection and disconnection from gas sources.
Correct Fittings:
Ensure that the 1/4" MNPT fittings on the hose match the connections on your equipment (e.g., gas regulators, appliances, or cylinders). If necessary, use adapters to fit different thread sizes or types.
Leak Testing:
Always check the gas hose connections for leaks after installation using a soapy water solution or a gas leak detector. If you see bubbles forming at any connection, that means there's a gas leak, and you should tighten or replace the connection immediately.
Never use an open flame to test for leaks.
Proper Storage:
When the hose is not in use, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, chemicals, and heat sources to prevent damage or degradation. Avoid sharp bends that could damage the hose.
Coiled pigtails should be kept uncoiled when in use to avoid undue stress on the hose material.
Pressure Rating:
Verify that the pressure rating of the hose matches the requirements of the gas system you're using it for. The hose should be rated for the maximum pressure it may encounter in the system.
Installation by a Professional:
Gas hoses should be installed by a licensed gas fitter to ensure proper installation and adherence to safety standards. Always use certified hoses and fittings to ensure safe operation of the gas system.
Inspection:
Regularly inspect the gas hose for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If the hose becomes damaged, replace it immediately. Flexible gas hoses can wear out over time due to constant bending, exposure to chemicals, or temperature extremes.
Leak Detection: Always test for leaks with a soapy water solution or a gas leak detector after installation. If you notice a leak, do not use the gas system until it has been repaired.
No Open Flames: Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks, as this can create a dangerous situation.
Use Certified Equipment: Always use certified and properly rated equipment and fittings for gas systems to ensure safe operation.
Regular Maintenance: Keep the hose and all fittings clean, and inspect the system regularly for any potential issues.
The 450mm Type F LCC27 Gas Hose - 1/4" MNPT Pigtail is an essential and versatile part of any gas system that connects to gas appliances, regulators, or cylinders. Its compact design, flexibility, and suitability for various types of gas systems make it an ideal choice for many commercial and residential applications, particularly where space is limited, and flexibility is required.
