Extension Hoses
Reliable extension hoses let you power outdoor cooking and heating from your caravan or motorhome safely. Match hose type, length and connectors to your regulator and appliance for stable pressure and leak-free operation.
Caravan And Motorhome Extension Hoses Basics
Select certified LPG hose rated for your system. Keep runs as short as practical, avoid tight bends and route away from heat sources and sharp edges. Use approved quick-connects and cap them when not in use.
Choosing Lengths For Gas Extension Hoses
Measure from the outlet to your BBQ or stove with gentle curves. Extra-long hoses increase pressure drop, so pick the shortest workable length.
High-Pressure Vs Low-Pressure Extension Hoses
Use high-pressure hose only upstream of the regulator; use low-pressure hose downstream on 30 mbar systems. Never mix fittings across pressure classes.
Connectors And Quick-Connects For Extension Hoses
Match connector standards to your outlet and appliance. Approved quick-connect sockets make setups faster and reduce wear on threads.
BSP Threads And Seals On Gas Extension Hoses
Confirm thread size and direction, use the specified gasket and tighten to spec. Avoid stacking adapters that add restriction and leak points.
Country Pigtails And Travel With Extension Hoses
When touring abroad, carry the correct country pigtail for your cylinder and keep an extension suited to local rules and fittings.
Routing, Support And Protection For Extension Hoses
Support extension hoses with cushioned clips where permanent, protect pass-throughs with grommets and keep hoses clear of walkways to prevent trip damage.
Bend Radius And Kink Prevention On LPG Hoses
Respect the minimum bend radius printed on the hose. If space is tight, re-route or use approved angled fittings instead of forcing a bend.
Ventilation And Safe Use Outdoors
Operate appliances in well-ventilated areas away from awning walls and soft furnishings. Close the outlet valve when the appliance is not connected.
Inspection, Leak Testing And Service Life Of Extension Hoses
Check date codes and replace hoses at the stated interval or sooner if damaged. After connecting, apply leak-detection spray or a soapy solution to every joint.
Common Symptoms And Fixes With Extension Hoses
Yellow flames or pulsing can indicate low pressure, icing or contamination. Verify bottle level, regulator output and hose condition.
Storage And Transport Of Gas Extension Hoses
Coil loosely, cap ends and store dry, cool and out of sunlight. Keep a spare seal set and dust caps in your kit.
Accessories And Spares For Extension Hoses
Add an external quick-connect outlet with a nearby shut-off valve for outdoor cooking. Carry spare O-rings, a regulator gasket, dust caps and leak-detection spray to keep your extension hoses dependable on tour.
Seasonal Checks For Gas Extension Hoses
Before peak season, inspect for cracks and flattening, confirm 30 mbar at the appliance and recheck all joints after your first drive.
