Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this hose suitable for natural gas or LPG?

This hose is designed for standard domestic gas supply. Please confirm compatibility with your specific gas type (natural gas or LPG) and local regulations.

What is the length of the hose?

The product description specifies this is a 4ft (approximately 1.2 meters) hose.

Do I need a professional to install this?

While the kit provides components, gas appliance installation can be complex and potentially dangerous if done incorrectly. It is highly recommended to have a qualified gas engineer install or check the installation for safety and compliance with local regulations.

What does the 'angled pipe joint' do?

The angled pipe joint allows for a connection when the wall gas outlet and the appliance inlet are not perfectly aligned, providing flexibility in positioning the appliance or hose.

How do I know if I have a 1/2 inch gas connection?

Most domestic gas ovens and cookers use a 1/2 inch gas connection. If unsure, consult your appliance's manual or a gas engineer.

What is the purpose of the gas safety chain?

The gas safety chain is a safety feature designed to prevent the appliance from tipping over by tethering it to a secure point, protecting the gas hose from strain.

Troubleshooting

Gas smell after installation

Immediately turn off the gas supply at the mains. Check all connections using a soapy water solution. Reapply PTFE tape and tighten fittings if bubbles are present. If the smell persists, do not use the appliance and contact a qualified gas engineer.

Hose does not fit securely

Ensure you are using the correct end connector for both the appliance and the wall outlet. Verify that the thread sizes are compatible. Do not force connections; use PTFE tape to aid sealing but not to overcome thread mismatches.

Appliance not receiving gas

Confirm the main gas supply is turned on. Check that the bayonet connectors are fully engaged. Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the hose. Verify that the appliance's own gas valve is open.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This gas supply hose installation kit is designed to be universal, fitting all makes and models of oven and cooker that use a standard 1/2 inch gas connection. The straight bayonet end connector is designed to fit standard gas appliance inlets.

Setup:

  • Safety First: Ensure the main gas supply to the appliance is turned OFF before starting.
  • Connections: Attach the appropriate connector (straight bayonet or angled pipe joint) to your appliance's gas inlet and the wall gas outlet. Use the provided PTFE tape on all threaded connections to ensure a secure, gas-tight seal.
  • Hose Attachment: Connect the gas hose securely to both the appliance and the wall outlet.
  • Safety Chain: Attach the gas safety chain from the appliance to a secure point, such as a wall fixing or a heavy fixture, to prevent the appliance from being pulled forward.
  • Leak Check: After installation, turn the main gas supply back on and check *all* connections for leaks using a soapy water solution. Bubbles indicate a leak that needs to be resealed.
  • Professional Advice: If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified gas engineer or follow your appliance manufacturer's specific installation guidelines.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of damage, cracking, or wear.
  • Keep the area around the gas connection clean and free from debris.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the hose or connectors.
