Description

8MM PROPANE GAS HOSE (ORANGE) WITH FITTINGS INC CHECK VALVE

An Orange 8mm gas hose designed for the delivery of Propane gas. This propane hose has an inner diameter of 8mm and comes in either 5, 10 or 20m length. A 3/8″ check valve (one way) safety device is fitted one end and a hose tail and 3/8″ LH nut the other.

Assembled and tested conforming to ISO 1256:2006, manufactured from EPDM compound for high abrasion and weather resistance, with high compression fittings and flame trap hose check valves.

Further Information:

These fitted hoses are complete, ready-made gas-hose solutions, which remove the need for time-consuming hose nut, tail and check-valve attachment. They are manufactured to a level of quality beyond that achievable when manually constructed by hand, with the inclusion of high compression fittings at each end of the hose to ensure reliable, gas-tight connections to the hose check valve (at the regulator end) and hose-tail / hose-nut configuration (at the torch end).

Blue hoses are used with oxygen, red hoses are used with acetylene, orange hoses are used with propane gas.
