Product Description
The Everdure Brigadier Bromic Paloma Supaheat LPG & Natural Gas Heater Hose 3M BSP is a specialized hose designed for use with gas heaters that operate on LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or Natural Gas. It ensures a safe and secure connection between your gas appliance (such as outdoor heaters) and the gas supply. Below is a breakdown of its typical features and specifications:
Key Features:
-
Length:
- The hose is 3 meters (3M) long, offering ample flexibility to connect your gas heater to the gas supply.
-
BSP Fittings:
- The hose is fitted with BSP (British Standard Pipe) connectors, which are a common standard for gas connections. These connectors ensure that the hose is compatible with various gas appliances and regulators that use BSP thread sizes.
- BSP fittings offer a secure, leak-proof connection, which is crucial for gas appliances to operate safely.
-
Material:
- Typically, the hose is made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as rubber or braided stainless steel. This construction ensures the hose is durable, resistant to pressure, and able to withstand outdoor conditions (such as UV exposure and extreme temperatures).
- The hose material is also designed to be gas-resistant, meaning it won’t degrade when exposed to LPG or natural gas.
-
LPG & Natural Gas Compatibility:
- The hose is versatile, suitable for both LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and Natural Gas appliances. This means you can use the same hose for various types of gas-powered heating units.
- It can be used for heaters that run on either propane or butane (LPG) as well as methane (natural gas).
-
Gas Flow:
- The hose is designed to carry a sufficient gas flow rate for the efficient operation of your heater. The correct flow rate is essential for safe and optimal performance of gas heaters.
-
Safety Features:
- The hose is manufactured to meet safety standards to ensure a safe and reliable gas connection. Look for certifications such as AS/NZS 1869, which is the Australian standard for flexible hoses used in gas appliances.
-
Common Applications:
- This hose is typically used for connecting outdoor gas heaters, patio heaters, gas fire pits, and barbecue appliances.
- It’s a suitable option for residential or commercial use, where LPG or natural gas is used as the fuel source for heating systems.
-
Installation:
- The hose is designed to be easy to install, but proper care must be taken to ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent gas leaks.
- Gas safety regulations should always be followed when installing or replacing a gas hose. In many cases, professional installation is recommended to ensure safety.
-
Temperature Resistance:
- The hose is capable of withstanding both high and low temperatures, which is essential for outdoor use, particularly in fluctuating weather conditions.
Summary of Applications:
- Gas Heater Connection: Ideal for connecting heaters that operate on LPG or natural gas, such as outdoor patio heaters or gas fire pits.
- Outdoor Use: Perfect for outdoor gas appliances as it’s designed to resist UV damage and extreme temperatures.
- LPG or Natural Gas: Versatile enough to work with both LPG (propane or butane) and natural gas systems, making it compatible with different types of gas heaters.
Important Considerations:
- Check the Compatibility: Make sure the BSP fittings are the correct size for your gas appliance and regulator.
- Safety: Always ensure the hose is properly connected and that no gas leaks are present after installation.
- Regulatory Standards: Ensure the hose meets local gas safety standards, especially if you're installing it yourself.
