LPG rubber hoses
Rubber hoses for LPG/CNG systems
Rubber hoses are an important component of LPG and CNG systems, used to transfer gas from the regulator to the injectors or other components of the car's LPG system.
Functions of LPG rubber hoses
Gas transmission: The hoses allow gas to be transported from the regulator to the injectors, ensuring gas flow to the engine.
Flexibility: Rubber hoses are flexible, allowing for easy routing and installation in the car.
Gas resistance: Rubber hoses are made of materials resistant to LPG or CNG gas, such as NBR rubber.
Installation security: LPG rubber hoses can be fitted with reinforcing braids to protect them from mechanical damage.
Types of rubber hoses for gas
Various types of rubber gas hoses are available, varying in diameter, length and material of construction:
Diameter: hoses are available in different diameters to suit the needs of the specific gas installation.
Length: The hoses are available in different lengths to suit the size and configuration of the car. In the ZAMEL offer, rubber hoses are usually available in rolls of 50 metres and 25 metres.
Material of manufacture: The hoses are made of NBR rubber, resistant to LPG or CNG gas.
Assembly of rubber hoses for gas
The installation of gas rubber hoses should be carried out by a qualified gas fitter. Fitting includes:
Selection of suitable hoses: The hoses must be matched to the LPG/CNG system type, diameter and length.
Attaching the hoses to the other components of the gas system in the car: The hoses are attached to the reducer and injectors using clamps, bands or other fasteners.
Leak check: After installation, the gas installation should be checked for leaks.
Important remarks
LPG rubber hoses from reputable manufacturers should be used to ensure the safety and durability of the installation. LPG rubber hoses should be homologated, which is a guarantee that the hose complies with safety standards. Chinese rubber hoses, although cheaper than European ones, are not necessarily durable. The ZAMEL autogas Biała Podlaska offer includes FARO, FAGUMIT, North Fighter and Semperit rubber hoses.
Assembly of rubber hoses for gas should be conducted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is essential that the correct hose diameter size is selected.
Regularly check the condition of the rubber hoses for damage and leaks.
Do not use rubber gas hoses that are damaged or show signs of wear.
