Silverline 384964 Gas Hose without Connectors - 5 m

A good quality replacement hose for, amongst other things, connection of a butane gas cylinder to a barbecue.Now, chances are that if you are reading this you will already have found a need for a gas hose replacement. If not then please check your gas connection hose each time that you unfurl it to connect your BBQ to the gas cylinder. I thought that I had checked my 4 year old hose as supplied with my Weber BBQ; as usual I ignited the burners and then walked away briefly to prepare the food. It was the smell of burning plastic that alerted me that all was not well. The hose had cracked near to the connection under the BBQ, and had then ignited. The flame had worked up into the control unit and the plastic knob was well alight, fed with a supply of butane. It seemed there was a chance that the flame could flash back along the hose......I was lucky that I had located the BBQ in the open air with the cylinder a couple of metres from the BBQ itself. I was able to get to the regulator tap on the top of the butane cylinder and cut off the gas, though thinking about t afterwards I am not sure that this was the best course of action, but you just act instinctively don't you? A wet cloth dealt with the burning plastic (although I did have an extinguisher standing by), but even so the BBQ itself - a £400 investment - was written off. I consider myself very lucky in the circumstances - if the BBQ had been in a covered area, if the fire had spread as I hadn't caught it early or if I hadn't been able to isolate the gas, the outcome could have been so different.So please, check that hose (particularly by the connection clips) - bend and stretch it to make sure there are no cracks. And if you need a replacement then this is a good hose to go for, reusing your existing regulator and connection clips if they are ok.And don't leave your BBQ unattended for a moment, even if you think it's quite safe. Chances are it's not.I'll be a lot more vigilant in future.

Perfect replacement for the old propane gas blowtorch hose,very sturdy but flexible

I've bought this twice. The first measured 4.7m rather than 5m; the second is the full 5m. Quality appears fine, but only time will tell.

Just the job for my gas bbq

Used this when I build a gas fireplace and it was super easy to use and was much cheaper than other competitors

Very flexible, accepts fittings easily, coils up easily for storage. Cannot be considered as a heav6 duty item.

Waist of money and dangerous DON'T BUY it was made in 2010 shouldn't even be for sale

The pipe is very stiff even at room temperature (22degC) and despite being heating with hot water still very difficult to fit to the regulator.The outer sheath is easily marked when fitting pipe to regulator or cooker, damged even by just a finger nail.I am concerned that the pipe is considerably less flexible than the pipe it replaces and may only give a very short life
