Campingaz Hose

Post by TimR »

Having heeded the advice that flexible gas hose only has a limited life span , I've been looking around for a replacement and found both 8mm and 6.3mm hose listed as suitable for use.

Does anyone know which I should buy ? Is the 1.7mm difference enough to worry about providing I tighten the clips up properly ?

I'm using a Campingaz 907 cylinder.

You will be wanting the 8mm gas hose and a couple of good quality clips.

WHS^^^^^^ Towsure sell the pipe by the metre (whatever length you need, not in one metre bits!!) and clips, at a good price.
Keep it real.

I'm not sure if there's a "legal" maximum length for a rubber gas hose, but there is good reason to keep it as short as is practical for your particular purpose because the flow rate of gas is slower through a rubber hose than through fixed copper piping, so a pressure drop may occur in a long run of it.
Definately 8MM hose on a Camping Gaz reg though :ok
What a long strange trip it's been
