Practical Notes
! ISI mark is MANDATORY — non-ISI hoses are a fire/explosion hazard.
! Replace LPG hose every 3-5 years — rubber degrades with LPG exposure over time.
! Maximum recommended length is 1.5m — longer hoses increase leak risk.
! Check for cracks, hardening, or discolouration regularly — replace immediately if found.
