Product Description
The Weber Gas Hose Extension 1.8m Suit Bayonet or Hose Supplied with Your Weber SAE is a flexible and durable accessory designed for connecting Weber gas appliances to a gas supply. This extension hose provides additional length, allowing for more flexible placement of your gas appliance, such as a Weber BBQ, from the gas source.
Key Features:
-
1.8 Meter Length:
- The 1.8-meter hose offers extended reach, giving users the flexibility to connect their Weber BBQ or other gas appliances to a gas supply that may be farther away. This is particularly useful for outdoor setups, where the gas supply may not be in close proximity to the appliance.
-
Compatible with Bayonet or Supplied Hose:
- This extension is designed to work with both bayonet fittings and the hose that comes supplied with your Weber appliance.
- If your Weber appliance has a bayonet connection, this extension hose can be easily connected to female bayonet sockets or the male bayonet plug on the appliance.
- It can also work seamlessly with other hoses that may already be included with your Weber BBQ.
-
SAE Fittings:
- The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) fittings are a standard connection type for many gas appliances, including Weber BBQs. This ensures compatibility with Weber gas products and other appliances that use SAE connections.
-
Durable Construction:
- The hose extension is made of high-quality, durable materials, typically featuring a stainless steel or braided outer layer. This construction ensures the hose can withstand wear, abrasion, and outdoor conditions, making it ideal for BBQs or outdoor kitchens.
-
Quick and Easy Installation:
- The hose features easy-to-use fittings that allow for a quick and tool-free connection to your gas supply and appliance. Simply attach the hose to the existing fittings, and you're ready to use your Weber BBQ or other gas appliances.
Common Applications:
-
Outdoor BBQs:
- The extension is perfect for Weber BBQs that need to be connected to a gas supply in outdoor setups, giving you more flexibility to place the BBQ at a convenient distance from the gas line.
-
Outdoor Kitchens and Grills:
- If you have an outdoor kitchen or grill station, the extension hose allows you to connect your appliance to the gas source, even if it's located farther away.
-
Caravans & Motorhomes:
- The hose extension can be used in caravans or motorhomes, extending the reach of your gas appliances to the gas bottle or supply line.
-
Flexible Gas Connections:
- This extension is ideal for situations where the gas supply and appliance are not fixed in one location, offering greater flexibility for moving and setting up appliances.
Installation Steps:
-
Attach the Extension Hose to the Gas Appliance:
- If you're using the extension for a Weber BBQ, connect the male bayonet fitting on the hose extension to the female bayonet fitting on the appliance.
- For appliances that use SAE fittings, connect the SAE end to the gas appliance’s connection point.
-
Connect the Other End to the Gas Supply:
- The other end of the extension can be connected to your gas supply (such as a gas bottle, regulator, or gas line).
- If the gas supply uses a bayonet socket, connect it to the bayonet fitting; otherwise, use the SAE fitting to connect it to the gas supply.
-
Check for Leaks:
- Once installed, always test for gas leaks by applying a soapy water solution to all the connection points. If bubbles form, this indicates a gas leak, which should be addressed before use.
-
Secure the Hose:
- Make sure the hose is not kinked, is securely fastened, and does not pose any tripping hazards. Ensure the hose is placed in a manner that prevents damage or wear.
Advantages:
-
Extended Reach:
- The 1.8-meter length offers more flexibility in where you place your appliance in relation to the gas supply, perfect for larger outdoor spaces or mobile setups.
-
Quick Setup and Disconnect:
- The bayonet or SAE fitting allows for tool-free connections, making it easy to set up or move the appliance as needed.
-
Durability:
- The hose is designed for outdoor use and is made of durable materials that can withstand abrasions, wear, and exposure to the elements.
-
Compatibility:
- The extension hose is designed to be compatible with a wide range of Weber BBQs and other gas appliances that use bayonet or SAE fittings, making it a versatile choice for most users.
Safety Considerations:
-
Gas Leak Testing:
- Always test for gas leaks after installation by applying soapy water to the connections. Bubbles at any of the connection points indicate a leak.
-
Proper Connection:
- Ensure the hose is connected securely at both ends, with no loose fittings, to avoid gas leaks.
-
Inspection:
- Regularly inspect the hose for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace the hose if it becomes damaged or shows signs of wear.
