Use only marked and certified hoses BS3212 or BSEN1763 and which bear the year and name of
the manufacturer and clips as LPG attacks and erodes natural rubber. Keep hose lengths as short
as possible and less than 2 meters in length. All flexible hoses must be secured with proper hose
clips. Make sure that the hoses are kept clear of ‘hot spots’ and inspect them from time to time.
Replace any hose that shows signs of wear or damage.
For Touring Caravans and Motor Homes, in 2003 BS EN 1949 was introduced which requires the
hose between the cylinder and regulator to be no longer than 450mm
