Does propane hose deteoriate?
Anywhere except on a boat and the answer would be "maybe". It's on a boat
and you need to ask? df "Jessie" wrote in message ... A friend says that standard black rubber propane hose gets old and goes bad - needs to be replaced. Any truth in this ? |

Does propane hose deteoriate?
Nigel Calder recommends copper pipe in his new Cruising Handbook. He does
comment that you need to use flare-type connections and not compression fittings. Copper is completely unacceptable for use with acetylene as it forms explosive copper acetylide deposits in the pipe. Use only hose for your welding rig g doug dotson wrote: I don;t think copper for propane is acceptable for boats in the US. The surveyor made me remove all of it on my boat when we bought it. The boat came from Canada where I guess it must be OK. He also made me replace all the copper fuel line as well. Doug s/v Callista |
