Flexible gas pipe?

I need to change the orange flexible gas pipe in 'Millie' as it has reached/passed the date that is printed on the tube.

So what should I use, some more of the orange stuff that more than likely will have been in stock for some time, eating into the time interval change date printed on the pipe, or could I use heavy duty reinforced polythene pipe, or some of the black stuff that the likes of Gasit sell?

What are your thoughts please?

I think I would stick to using a product suitable for use on waterways.

Phil, I've been bar b queuing with an orange flexi gas pipe that's been out in the elements for 6 or 7 years it's now no longer orange because of the UV and cracking on the surface, however the rubber internal bore is fine, obviously I wouldn't use this state of pipe in an enclosed environment such as a motorhome boat or caravan but it certainly shows that the use by date is grossly reduced to its actual dangerous condition. . I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY SUGGESTION THAT YOUR PIPE IS SAFE TO USE. just my disclaimer Phil

I'd buy the recommended orange pipe from a chandlers and check the date before you buy it.

When it comes to replacing gas pipes in your vehicle, it's crucial to prioritize safety and adhere to relevant regulations. Here are some general guidelines:

Compliance: Check with local regulations and standards to ensure compliance with gas piping materials and installation methods. Different regions may have specific requirements.
Flexible Gas Pipe: If the original installation used a specific type of flexible gas pipe, it's generally recommended to stick with the same type or a compatible replacement. These pipes are designed and certified for use in gas systems, and using an alternative may not meet safety standards.
Reinforced Polythene Pipe: Using heavy-duty reinforced polythene or other non-certified materials may not be suitable for gas systems. Gas pipes need to meet specific safety standards to ensure proper performance and minimize the risk of leaks.
Consult a Professional: If you're uncertain about the suitable replacement for your gas pipe, it's advisable to consult with a professional gas installer or technician. They can provide guidance based on local regulations and the specific requirements of your vehicle.
Inspect Regularly: Regardless of the type of pipe used, regular inspections of the gas system are essential. Check for any signs of wear, damage, or deterioration, and replace components as needed.

Remember that gas-related work should be performed by individuals with the necessary qualifications and expertise to ensure safety. If in doubt, consult with a professional gas technician or installer who can assess your specific situation and recommend the appropriate materials and procedures.

As said go like for like and check the date, I don't think they buy a lot so it should be fairly new

Ask the seller, if they say it's one date and it isn't they have to pay for it going back as you have asked them, this is recorded by eBay, if you just buy without asking then you may be stuck with it.
