Hi guys.
Can anyone tell me what the working pressure is of the hose people have attached to their NASA?
Your normal hose to your BBQ has stamped on the side W.P (Working pressure) 2.8Mpa. Is this same hose that people have hooked to their NASA or do they use a special high pressure hose? I suspect this is the same hose and not a special "high pressure" hose at all.
I have run into endless hurdles trying to find a "high pressure" LPG hose that everyone refers to on this forum to go with their NASA, no one in BBQ or Gas industry seem to know what I'm talking about or stock a suitable hose.
This is probably my own fault for over looking this due to the closeness of the numbers involved, but your BBQ reulator puts out around 2.6kPa (kilopascals)-BUT the standard hose on this regulator is rated to 2.8MPA (mega pascals). I missed the kPA to mPA stamped on the side and thought the hose actually read 2.8kPA.
I have just ordered the hose from Gameco moments ago but I think I only just worked out that they are the bloody same hose you can buy anywhere. Arg!!!
Anyone care to shed the light on my frustration. I'm no so bothered because I got a 2m hose which is about half the price of what I have found here for a hose of that length but I just thought I'd clear this up for those other people that are going to be looking for hoses and fittings for their burners.
Cheers, Justin
