SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Hoses
The hoses used in your LP gas system are UL or CSA listed, and are rated
to withstand many times the pressures encountered in the system. Although
they are designed for efficient and trouble free use, they can deteriorate from
impurities in the air. Consequently, check the hoses for weather checking or
other signs of deterioration every time you have the gas tank filled or serviced.
When you replace hoses, be sure that replacements are properly rated and
approved for RV use.
