Propane gas bottle - getting the right hose for the right regulator...

[DIYNotIan]

Hi

We've got a propane gas bottle for our cooker (gas for hobs, electricity for oven). I've read that a low pressure hose should always be used with a low pressure regulator. Never high with low or vice versa.

But the hose we currently have has high pressure written on it. It's 8mm ID and seems to be correct, but states high pressure.

On further reading I found this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/continental-products-Propane-Regulator-37Mbar/dp/B07574HKGM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

And these:

Orange LPG Hose - Gas Equipment Direct

www.gasequipmentdirect.co.uk

which all say are high pressure hoses, but are correct for the standard 37mbar regulators.

Can anyone explain why these hoses are apparently correct if low pressure hoses should be used with low pressure regulators?

Many thanks

Why not get a GasSafe to come and have a look at your gas installation?

If you have to ask questions about any domestic gas installation, be it NG or LPG then a qualified RGI should be the one doing the work. Better safe than sorry.
