Flexible gas hose 1/2" MF 75-150 cm

Product detailed description

This flexible gas hose is commonly used in residential and commercial kitchens for connecting gas stoves, ovens and other gas appliances to the fixed gas supply. The expandable corrugated design allows for easy installation in tight spaces and accommodates minor misalignments between the appliance and the supply line. The hose is suitable for indoor use and is typically installed by plumbers, gas fitters and HVAC technicians working on gas supply systems.

The hose is designed to provide a secure and leak-free connection between the appliance and the gas supply. It is commonly used in new installations or when replacing existing rigid connections with a more flexible solution. The expandable structure ensures that the hose can be compressed or extended to fit the required length during installation.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation begins by ensuring that the gas supply is turned off and the system is depressurised. The hose is connected using standard 1/2 inch male and female threads, which should be tightened with a wrench to ensure a secure connection. It is important to check that the hose is not kinked or twisted during installation, as this can restrict gas flow or cause damage. The hose should be routed in a way that minimises stress on the connections and allows for natural expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.

Common installation mistakes include over-tightening the threads, which can damage the hose or the fittings, and using the hose in applications where rigid piping is required. The hose should not be used for permanent fixed installations where movement is not expected. Always verify the correct orientation of the male and female threads before tightening.

Compatibility and accessories

This flexible gas hose is compatible with standard gas appliances that use 1/2 inch threaded connections. It is commonly used with gas stoves, ovens and other kitchen appliances. For installation, it is recommended to use appropriate sealing tape or thread compound on the male thread to ensure a leak-free connection. No additional accessories are required for standard installations.

Technical background for designers

The hose is constructed with a corrugated metal body that allows for expansion and compression. This design provides flexibility while maintaining structural integrity. The material is chosen for its resistance to gas corrosion and its ability to maintain a secure seal under normal operating conditions. The hose integrates into the gas supply system by bridging the gap between the fixed supply line and the appliance, allowing for minor adjustments in positioning. The service life of the hose depends on the quality of the installation, the absence of kinks or excessive bending, and the operating conditions of the gas system.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspections are recommended to check for signs of wear, corrosion or damage. The hose should be inspected for leaks using a gas leak detection solution or by following standard gas testing procedures. If any damage or wear is detected, the hose should be replaced immediately. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data.
