Gaslow Stainless Steel Butane Hose
Stronger & lasting longer than rubber, this stainless steel hose will remove the primary cause of regulator failure. Re-condensed gas in rubber hoses can result in oily plasticiser residue blocking your regulator. The flexible stainless steel inner eliminates this. Meets the requirements of the Boat Safety Scheme.
Advantages of Stainless Steel:
- Hose doesn''t need to be changed for 20 years
- Welded end fittings
- Zero permeation, therefore no smelly hoses
- Built to EN10380
Please Note: when replacing a rubber hose with stainless steel on an existing system - always check for contamination in the regulator prior to installation.
Quite frankly why we still use rubber hoses eludes me.
Stainless steel are about 30% more expensive, but safer, last longer, and don’t damage your regulator. Every Motorhome should come with stainless steel in my honest opinion.
One other point, why are we still using spanner’s to change over cylinders.
In my last van the cylinder more or less filled the cupboard. I had to get it out place it in the ground before disconnecting it. Hand tight connectors are safer than those using spanner’s, and far easier to change over. I see £100,000 plus vans supplied with rubber hoses with standard connectors. It makes no sense whatsoever.
