LPG-Hose Thermoplastic 6m + Terminal Couplings 8mm pipe (Straight / Angular)

LPG-Hose Thermoplastic 6meter + Terminal Couplings 8mm pipe (Straight / Angular)

Plastic LPG pipe has many advantages over a copper pipe. That is why for the last 10-15 years almost only plastic LPG pipe has been used for LPG installation.

Is used as an alternative for a 8mm copper pipe

 
Manufacturer code: KF-0002
Approval number: E7 67R-0100951
Inner diameter: Ø6.5mm
Outer diameter: Ø12.2mm
Input connection: Ø8mm
Output connection: Ø8mm
Pressure class: 67R-01 Class 1 (max. 30 bar)

Supplied with 2x terminal connectors. Choose whether you want straight or angled couplings. (2x straight / 1x straight + 1x angled / 2x angled)

 
Can be used instead of copper LPG pipe with outer diameter Ø8mm. Has the samen internal diameter as 8mm copper.

 
Advantages compared to copper at a glance:
- Much easier to assemble as it is more flexible and resilient. (A copper pipe does not spring back and can kink quickly)
- Very safe and has an LPG approval 67R-01
- Cannot kink or be crushed, like copper pipe can, for example by mistakenly having had a jack underneath it.

 
 
NB!
A plastic LPG pipe is not connected directly to an LPG part, but coupling pieces are used on the ends of the pipe. These come in different shapes and sizes. There are also several types of plastic LPG pipe available. There are different diameters, but also brands and types of connectors. Make sure you use the correct one for your application in combination with the correct coupling pieces on the ends of the plastic pipe.

 
The plastic pipe can be shortened to the desired length. Use a good sharp hose cutter or else a cutter for this. Cut the pipe neatly straight.

 
NB!
Check the type of connection on the parts to which you want to connect the LPG pipe, such as the tank, gas valves, etc.

 
This type of pipe uses Ø8 mm compression connections and therefore only fits on parts with such a type of connection.

 
NB!
General safety advice for LPG Pipe:

- The LPG pipe may not be placed close to heat sources (for example an exhaust pipe). Maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm. Or use a heat shield.
- The LPG pipe may not be placed lower than the lowest point of the vehicle. In other words: At a distance of 15 cm from the pipe, there must always be a fixed part of the vehicle lower down. This rule prevents the pipe from touching the road surface.
- LPG pipe must be attached to non-moving (fixed) parts of the vehicle by means of pipe brackets. The maximum mutual distance between the pipe brackets must not exceed 40 cm.
- Consult the RDW rules for the exact and other guidelines.

 
The corresponding couplings fit most 8mm compression connections of evaporators, gas valves, multivalves, quick-closing valves, etc.

 
Outer diameter pipe connector: Ø8mm

Outer diameter of plastic gas pipe: ≈ Ø12.5mm

Inner diameter plastic gas pipe: ≈ Ø6.5mm

 
Instead of copper pipe, plastic pipe is nowadays used with various advantages such as flexibility and that it does not kink quickly. To be able to connect the plastic pipe to another part, just as you would with a copper pipe, it is necessary to connect an end piece (coupling piece) of that type of pipe, which in turn is fitted with a Ø8 mm pipe (just like a copper pipe).

 

Suitable for: LPG-Tanks with a Multivale 8mm compression connection (M12x1 outlet) and  shut-off valves, reducers, etc with a 8mm compression connection.

Not suitable for: LPG-Tanks 4 hole version with a service valve with a flare connection (conical). Use the LPG-Hose with conical (Flare) connection instead.
