Natural gas at home is a great convenience. Thanks to it, you can not only cook, but it can also be used as a heating source or for heating domestic water. When performing the installation, first of all, remember about safety. Which gas hoses should you choose?

Which gas hose should you choose?
Choosing the right hose is crucial to ensure that the devices connected to the installation operate properly and effectively, and most importantly - safely. A leak in the system poses a high risk. Gas poisoning can lead to death, but remember that escaping gas can cause a fire. All it takes is a spark to cause an explosion. This is why so much attention must be paid to the correct installation and connection of devices.
When choosing a gas hose, first of all, make sure that 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 stringent standards. The difference between the products is that the hoses manufactured and checked under procedure 3 are also safe and can be successfully used in everyday use, but please remember that they can only be used in specific installations. They cannot be used in places that are particularly at 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 may result in an accident. Models prepared for propane-butane will ensure safety with this gas, while natural gas particles can penetrate the entire length of the hose and vice versa. Flexible hoses are made of materials that react differently to specific gases. Failure to adapt may therefore result in particles penetrating outside the hose, and may also lead to corrosion or brittleness under the influence of a specific gas. Therefore, when looking for a suitable, flexible hose, you must pay attention to its purpose indicated by the manufacturer and confirmed by certificates.
Overview of gas hoses at the Onninen wholesaler
Our wholesale offer includes various types of flexible gas hoses, which have the necessary certificates and approvals for use, which is a guarantee of safety.
One of the proposals is a flexible Famas FPGS-08B gas hose with a maximum length of 50 cm or a Famas FPGS-08B gas hose of 100 cm , made in accordance with procedure 1. This is a signal that the product has the highest level of safety. The whole is made of plastic, in accordance with the applicable PN-EN 14800 standard. There is an external braid around the plastic, resembling a mesh. This element is made of stainless steel, thanks to which it perfectly protects the corrugated inner pipe of the cable against mechanical damage. The advantage of the product is the unlimited bending radius, which means that the hose can be used in even hard-to-reach places where bending flexibility is a key issue.
An alternative solution are extensible hoses, thanks to which you can adjust the length of the hose to the specific needs of the connection.The Famas DN 12 stretchable gas pipe from Famas is a type of PSR pipe made of a flexible corrugated pipe. Its important feature is high corrosion resistance thanks to the use of stainless steel. The outside of the structure is covered with durable PVC. The ends of the hose have welded or soldered tips. These models are sold as a compressed corrugated pipe that can be virtually freely formed and stretched during installation as needed. This type of models are used indoors buildings and allow for effective connection of non-flexible elements. Importantly,Famas DN 20 expandable gas pipes and other sizes from this series can be formed only once, while in the case of the duration of use - the manufacturer does not impose any restrictions, the only factor determining the service life is the tightness of the installation. Expandable pipes are equipped with appropriate nipples.
Depending on the installation needs, where the ability to quickly connect and disconnect the cable is necessary, solutions such as the Famas FPGS 1/2" quick connector with an angle valve and a tight swivel connection will prove useful. The big advantage of this solution is the fact that it allows you to quickly connect gas-using devices at a specific stage of production. Thanks to the quick connector, this process runs quickly and efficiently, without the need to stop the processes.
