What should be noted when using metal wrapped hoses for gas appliances?

1. Installation and use specifications

Professional installation and regular inspection:

It is recommended that the metal wrapped hose be installed by the gas company or professionals to ensure that there is no leakage in the interface. After installation, it is necessary to apply soapy water to test the air tightness and observe whether there are bubbles. When put into use, avoid the hose being too long (no more than 2 meters), bending, stretching or passing through the wall to prevent deformation or damage due to external force.

Environmental adaptability:

Metal wrapped hoses for gas appliance connections should be kept away from high temperature sources (such as stove flames) and corrosive substances (such as detergents) when in use. Although metal hoses are resistant to high temperatures, they still need to be avoided from long-term exposure to extreme environments.

Although the risk of rat bites is low, it is still necessary to regularly check whether the hose surface is bitten or worn.

2. Maintenance and replacement

Regular replacement and inspection:

Although the metal hose has a long life (8-10 years), it needs to be inspected every 1-2 years. If the interface is found to be loose, rusted or deformed, it should be replaced immediately.

If there are signs of oil or aging (such as metal layer peeling) on both ends of the hose, it needs to be handled in time.

Emergency treatment:

When a gas leak is found (such as smelling rotten eggs), immediately close the valve, open the window for ventilation, do not touch electrical appliances or open flames, and contact professionals for repair.
