Gaslow Rubber Hose Assemblies and Oily Substance in Regulators

There is confusion within the Caravan and Motorhome market regarding the problems caused by an oily substance preventing bulk mounted regulators from passing gas.

A PDF file of an investigation report by the National Caravan Council in January 2007 is
Available at the bottom of this article.

From a test carried out by Gaslow, it supported the argument that the oil was in fact plasticiser which had been extracted from the high pressure hose.

All rubber hoses are manufactured to the British Standard which allows for up to 10% extractables. Understanding the significance of extractables Gaslow have always used a more expensive high quality rubber hose which is produced with an extractability of only 2%, however we have still seen a few hoses with the oily substance.

We do not, however, understand why the problem of regulator blockage has manifested itself to the existent that it has. The NCC report estimates only a 4% incident rate of regulator blockage but we have been selling similar systems for over 20 years using the same type of hose and have never seen a problem with any of our systems. That said we have had a few of our systems recently effected one of which was used in the forensic test mentioned above.

Whilst the industry is continuing to monitor the situation and make certain recommendations Gaslow is continuing to supply its high pressure rubber hose assemblies to the market and incorporating them in our own Gaslow systems.

In the meantime we have taken the view that if we eliminate the possibility of plasticiser altogether the evidence suggests it should resolve the blockage issue. For this reason we have pioneered a range of Flexible Stainless Steel Hose Assemblies which are rubber free and now available.

Independently tested and approved hose is used to manufacture Gaslow high pressure hose assemblies. Available with either Butane or Propane connections - they simply screw on to the inlet of all Gaslow changeover systems and will also fit the inlet of all makes of the 30mbar Caravan regulator.

Note: - Specification for the hose is the same for ALL High Pressure hoses – we are only referring to the cylinder connections when describing Butane or Propane.
