TIP
Attach the manometer
gauge to the accessory
hookup line to avoid
loosening any interior
LP-Gas line connections.
lp-gaS HoSe InSpectIon
It is suggested by the hose manufacturer that
a flexible LP-Gas supply hose undergo regular
inspection. As a guideline, it is recommended
that all flexible LP-Gas lines connecting the
slide-out, appliances and tanks be inspected in
the spring and fall of each year by a qualified RV
technician.
Inspection tips:
Hose strength is controlled by the plies of
reinforcement. Damage in this area cannot
be tolerated. It is important that if a damaged
LP-Gas hose is found, the source of the damage
be determined and corrected prior to the
replacement. Small cuts, nicks, or gouges that
do not go completely through the cover are not
cause for replacement of the hose. Inspection
should be performed when the hose is not under
pressure.
NOTE
Pricking of the cover in the manufacture
of this type of hose is common and
necessary for satisfactory hose
performance. Consequently, the
uniformly pricked cover should not be
viewed with alarm.
Cause for hose replacement:
Damage to the textile reinforcement or
wire braid; wire braid reinforced hose,
which has been kinked or flattened so as
to permanently deform the wire braid in
the un-pressurized state.
Blistering or loose outer cover.
Slippage; evidenced by the misalignment
of the hose and coupling and/or the
scored or exposed area where slippage
has occurred.
NOTE
Only a qualified RV service technician
should complete replacement of LP-Gas
components.
Additional suggested maintenance:
After performing extensive testing the
manufacturer of the flexible LP-Gas supply
hoses has determined that the hoses be
replaced every ten (10) years as the failure
rate may increase after this period of time.
The motorhome manufacturer recommends
following this guideline to assure continued
safety and dependable use.
lp-gaS DIStrIButIon lIneS
A primary manifold black steel pipe running
throughout the motorhome distributes LP-Gas
to secondary lines. All secondary lines leading
to gas appliances are made of copper tubing
with flared fittings. It is recommended that gas
distribution work be performed by an authorized
dealer or an authorized service technician.
INSPECTION
Inspect the rubber flexible lines twice a
year for abrasions, tears, kinks or other
signs of damage.
If a gas leak is suspected, have the system
inspected and repaired by a qualified service
technician as soon as possible.
