This hose is specifically designed for propane gas.

What is the maximum working pressure of this hose?

The hose is rated for a maximum working pressure of 20 bar (2 Mpa).

What does the '3/8" BSP' refer to?

This refers to the size and type of the fitting thread. BSP stands for British Standard Pipe.

Is this hose suitable for MIG welding?

While designed for cutting and welding, it's specifically a propane hose. Ensure your specific MIG welding setup uses propane and compatible fittings.

What is the benefit of a flashback resistant fitting?

A flashback resistant fitting helps to prevent a flame from traveling back up the hose into the gas supply, significantly improving safety.

How should I clean the hose?

Clean the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the rubber material.

Where is this hose manufactured?

The hose is manufactured and tested in accordance with ISO 3821:2010 and EN1256:2006 standards.

Troubleshooting

Gas flow is inconsistent

Check for kinks in the hose. Ensure connections are secure and not leaking. Verify that the pressure setting on the regulator is appropriate for the application and within the hose's 20bar limit.

Hose appears stiff or inflexible

Ensure the hose is at a suitable operating temperature. Avoid exposing the hose to prolonged extreme cold. Inspect for internal blockages.

Fitting feels loose

Re-tighten the connection using an appropriate wrench. Ensure the threads are clean and free from debris. If the fitting is damaged, the hose may need replacement.
