Natural gas in the home is a great convenience. It can be used not only for cooking, but also as a source of heating or for heating utility water. When installing, first and foremost, remember about safety. Which gas hoses should you choose?

Which gas hose should I choose?
Choosing the right hose is crucial for the devices connected to the installation to work properly and efficiently, and most importantly - safely. A leak in the system poses a major threat. Gas poisoning, which can lead to death, but it should be remembered that leaking gas can cause a fire. A spark is enough for an explosion to occur. This is why so much attention should be paid to the correct execution of the installation and connection of devices.
When choosing a gas hose, first of all, you should pay attention to whether it is made in accordance with the standards. The standard in force in Poland is PN-EN 14800, according to which a gas hose can be manufactured based on two procedures 1 and 3. Products manufactured in accordance with procedure 1 are the highest quality models that meet the most restrictive standards. The differences between the products are that hoses manufactured and tested under procedure 3 are also safe and can be successfully used in everyday use, but it should be remembered that they can only be used in specific installations. They cannot be used in places that are particularly exposed to the risk of fire.
When looking for the right variant, you should 
pay attention to the type of gas for which the selected product is dedicated. Each of them, whether it is natural gas or propane butane, has different properties, so the requirements for the accessories and equipment used are also different. The specific properties of a specific gas must be taken into account in the production process, because only then can maximum safety be ensured. Failure to adapt the hose variant to a specific type of gas can lead to an accident. Models prepared for propane-butane will ensure safety with this gas, while natural gas molecules can penetrate the hose along its entire length and vice versa. Flexible hoses are made of materials that react differently to specific gases. Failure to adapt can therefore lead to the penetration of molecules outside the hose, and corrosion or crumbling under the influence of a specific gas can also occur. Therefore, when looking for a suitable, flexible hose, it is necessary to pay attention to its purpose indicated by the manufacturer and confirmed by certificates.
Inspection of gas hoses at the Onninen wholesaler
Our wholesale offer includes various types of flexible gas hoses with the certificates and approvals required for approval for use, which is a guarantee of safety.
One of the proposals is the flexible gas hose Famas FPGS-08B with a maximum length of 50 cm or the gas hose Famas FPGS-08B 100 cm , made in accordance with procedure 1. This is a signal that the product is characterized by the highest level of safety. The whole is made of plastic, in accordance with the applicable standard PN-EN 14800. There is an external braid around the plastic, its structure resembling a mesh. This element is made of stainless steel, thanks to which it perfectly protects the corrugated internal pipe of the hose against mechanical damage. The advantage of the product is the unlimited bending radius, which means that the hose can be used in places that are difficult to access, where bending flexibility is a key issue.
An alternative solution is extensible hoses, thanks to which the hose length can be adjusted to the specific needs of the connection.The Famas DN 12 extensible gas hose from Famas is a type of PSR hose, which is made of flexible corrugated pipe. Its important feature is high corrosion resistance, thanks to the use of stainless steel. The structure is covered with durable PVC material from the outside. There are welded or soldered ends at the ends of the hose. These models are sold as a compressed corrugated pipe, which can basically be freely formed and stretched during assembly according to the needs. Models of this type are used in interiors 
buildings and allow for effective connection of inflexible elements. Importantly -Famas DN 20 extensible gas pipes and other sizes from this series can be formed only once, while in the case of time of use - the manufacturer does not introduce any restrictions here, the only factor determining the service life is the tightness of the installation. Extensible pipes are equipped with appropriate nipples.
Depending on the installation needs, where the ability to quickly connect and disconnect the pipe is necessary, solutions such as the Famas FPGS 1/2” quick connector with an angle valve, with a tight swivel connection will work well. A big advantage of such a solution is the fact that it allows for quick connection of devices using gas at a specific stage of production. Thanks to the quick connector, this process is quick and efficient, without the need to stop the processes.
