BS 669/2 approval signifies that the gas hose meets the specific safety and performance standards set by British Standards for the use of flexible hoses in catering appliances.
This specific hose is designed for natural gas. For LPG, you would require a hose explicitly certified for LPG use.
It is recommended to visually inspect the hose regularly for damage. An annual professional inspection by a qualified engineer is also advisable to ensure continued safety and compliance.
The restrainer is a safety feature that prevents the hose from overstretching or kinking, reducing the risk of damage and potential gas leaks.
No, the hose is factory-made to specific lengths and should not be cut. Cutting the hose will compromise its integrity and safety certification.
Installation of any gas hose and appliance connection must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer (in the UK) or a similarly certified professional in other regions.
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided with the product or on the Uci website for specific warranty details.
Immediately turn off the gas supply. Do not use the appliance. Check all connections for tightness. If the leak persists, replace the hose and have the system checked by a qualified engineer.
Ensure the coupling is clean and free from debris. Do not force it. If resistance continues, seek professional advice as the coupling may require servicing or replacement.
Immediately disconnect the hose (after turning off the gas supply) and replace it with a new, approved hose. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hose.
Tighten the fixing bolts securing the restrainer. Ensure it is attached to a solid fixture. If the attachment point is compromised, seek professional advice for repair.
Setup: Ensure the gas supply is turned off before installation. Connect one end of the hose to the gas outlet and the other to the appliance inlet, ensuring a secure fit. Attach the restrainer to both the appliance and a secure fixture. Use the provided fixing bolts for a firm installation. Crucially, all gas installations must be performed by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer in the UK or equivalent professional elsewhere.
Compatibility: This hose is designed for use with natural gas appliances and features a 1/2" bore connection. It is compatible with appliances designed to accept a BS 669/2 approved hose.
Care: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of damage, wear, or perishing. Check the condition of the couplings and the restrainer. Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Always refer to the appliance manufacturer's instructions and local gas safety regulations for specific care requirements. Annual professional inspection is recommended.
