Flexible gas pipe?

[Millie Master]

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.

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.

Pardon our interruption...
