LPG hoses

[TFGplumbing]

Come across a load of static caravans with dual LP change over valves, with HP orange hose connecting the change over valve to the carcass of the static ; I always thought it had to be rigid after the changeover valve, gas safe dont seem that fussed I think its ****ing ****e

what you guys think?

It does, but then again it's gas safe so they don't care

Get this a lot Just check the date on the orange hose and look for any cracking, had a hole site like this but have slowly re-piped them, Trouble with a static site a lot of things don't seem to apply

Anybody asks me I just tell that the new regs mean it has to be done in cooper. Nothing sure but if the orange hose splits in 2/3 years you get the blame and they say well you serviced it last year and the boiler or geyser not looked at in 10 years!!

May get away with this if unit is private, But with site owners they know all the rules & like landlords don't like spending money, when they replace units that's when I re-pipe them
