Kitchen LPG line: GI pipe or flexible hose?

[boybi]

What's better and safer to use for the LPG pipe from tank to stove, GI pipe or flexible hose? The tank will be placed outside the house and the hose will be around 3m long.

If it's around 3 meters long i think a good hose can still suffice. In our old house, my grandmother used steel pipes as the tanks were considerably further from the stove (around 20 feet). I'm just not familiar but you should check the kind of pipes and valves used for the LPG pipelines as well, before deciding.

My parents' house has the same setup (gas tank outside around 3 meters away). They're still using a flexible hose. Just keep inspecting it regularly as rodents like to chew on it.

pwede na ung flexible hose just secure it properly.

Will rats chew even on silicone? Perhaps if you rub it down with repellent.

We have our tank mounted remotely, we just run the hose through the wall.

A flexible line is cheaper to install, and if you get a leak, you can replace it easily. If one of the pipes leaks, it'll be harder (and more expensive) to fix.

I have always used flexible hoses, altough in some buildings where I lived there were LPG pipelines but to connect'em to the stove a flexible hose was required.

im using hose yung gamit sa gas cutting. Mas easy ang flexi hose palitan kesa sa GI. regular check lang talaga kailangan.

Ang LPG hose dapat 1 meter maximum only

Don't use GI pipe. Use copper tube and fittings

Yan ang sabi ng NFPA68

I used stainless tubing sa labas din tanks naka lagay

[gongrhey]

Copper tubing or stainless tubing with proper fittings/connectors pag mahaba yung linya. kailangan pa rin yung hose to connect to the tank regulator.

Planning to do the same, around 6-10meters, recommendation is to use BI Pipes.

Mas simple kung regular LPG rubber hose na tig P50/m then ipasok sa 3/4" electrical conduit yung red para heat resistant. Pwede din flexible elec conduit kung irregular route.
