From the sticky thread
Since then I find that the HWOS Long01 dont last more than a couple of years so I have switched to the green bio equivalent.
Just using the braided ones.
I found that the black ones were cracking when going back for a second service. The customers were complaining of oil smells as well. I changed them for the braided or green ones and the smell went.
Most braided hoses have the date on the fitting at one end or another, I seem to reqularly come across ones from the early 90's.
There are no deails in any Regulations (Building Regs or otherwise etc) regarding maintenance of supply pipework other than installation requirements. Regulations only state that pipework "must be fit for purpose" but do not go into specifics. OFTEC procedures advise changing braided hoses annually and long life hoses as required or 5 years. There is no mandatory requirement to change hoses.
So what did you mean by "check your regs"?True, but if something goes wrong, what would your insurers think?

I'm not being pedantic atall but check for what?If you are being pedantic, "Check your OFTEC books"

There is a thread on this somewhere in this section. Have a look about, Il try to find it too.I have had a few boiler repairs lately (oil) and would like to carry some spares , (not a lot !!!!) stuff like nozzles , the odd control box , flexi hoses etc. just basic stuff so when I get a repair or service job that I can try the obvious first as such before ordering more expensive parts. I have a kane 250 analyser oil kit model so have the smoke pump + gauges as I went gas safe registered firs as could not afford oftec too at the time. but am thinking of joining now, so any recommendations of a few stock I could carry, don't want to spend more than around £100ish quid , I that enough?. a few recommendations of most popular parts around. thanks
