EN16129

The EN16129 collection is designed for high-quality, reliable gas hose assemblies that meet the rigorous European standard for pressure regulators and related safety components in LPG systems. Built to comply with EN16129, these hoses are ideal for use in gas delivery applications, from residential and commercial LPG setups to industrial gas installations. With a focus on safety, durability, and performance, the EN16129 collection provides dependable solutions for secure and efficient gas handling.

Crafted from premium, gas-resistant materials, EN16129 hoses deliver excellent durability and resistance to the effects of LPG and other gas types. The materials are chosen to prevent degradation from prolonged gas exposure, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance. Designed to endure the demands of both indoor and outdoor environments, these hoses provide exceptional resilience to UV rays, temperature variations, and other environmental factors, making them suitable for diverse conditions.

The EN16129 hoses are engineered with flexibility in mind, allowing for smooth routing and installation in tight or complex spaces. This flexibility, combined with lightweight construction, makes the hoses easy to handle and ideal for both permanent installations and portable LPG systems. Whether in a commercial kitchen, a mobile catering setup, or a workshop, these hoses ensure hassle-free installation and reliable performance.

Safety is a priority in the EN16129 collection. Each hose features reinforced layers that enhance burst resistance, effectively containing high-pressure gas to prevent leaks and safeguard against accidents. Manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of the EN16129 standard, these hoses undergo rigorous testing to guarantee they provide consistent gas flow and maximum protection. This makes them a trusted choice for gas professionals who prioritize safety and reliability in every application.

Designed to perform reliably across a wide temperature range, the EN16129 hoses maintain their flexibility and structural integrity even in extreme conditions. Their resilience to both heat and cold makes them adaptable to a variety of environments, from warm kitchens to colder outdoor installations. This versatility ensures that they continue to deliver dependable gas flow, whether in routine use or in challenging conditions.

Which regulator do I need for my gas bottle?
It depends on the gas and the cylinder valve, not on the appliance. Butane cylinders with a 21mm valve take a 21mm clip-on butane regulator at 28mbar. Propane cylinders with a 27mm valve take a 27mm clip-on propane regulator at 37mbar. Older propane cylinders with a threaded POL valve take a screw-on propane regulator at 37mbar. Check the valve on your cylinder before ordering - they are not interchangeable.

What is the difference between butane and propane regulators?
They deliver different pressures because the two gases behave differently. Butane runs at 28mbar, propane at 37mbar, and appliances are jetted for one or the other. Fitting the wrong regulator will make an appliance run badly and, more importantly, unsafely. Propane also works at much lower temperatures than butane, which is why it is the usual choice for outdoor and winter use.

What standard are they built to?
EN 16129, which is the European standard covering pressure regulators for LPG. Buying to a recognised standard matters a great deal with gas equipment - the standard covers the relief mechanism, the materials and the pressure accuracy. We would strongly advise against uncertified regulators regardless of price.

What flow rate do these regulators deliver?
The 21mm butane clip-on is rated at 1kg/h; the 27mm propane clip-on and the screw-on propane regulator are rated at 1.5kg/h. Check the total demand of your appliances against that figure - a regulator that cannot supply enough gas will cause an appliance to run weak or cut out under load, particularly on larger burners or when several are used at once.

What temperature range do they work over?
The 21mm butane clip-on is rated 0C to +50C, the 27mm propane clip-on -10C to +65C, and the screw-on propane regulator -20C to +50C. This is another reason propane is preferred for outdoor and winter work - butane stops vaporising properly as the temperature approaches freezing, so a butane setup can simply stop delivering gas on a cold morning.

How do I connect a regulator to hose?
These have an 8mm (5/16 inch) hose nozzle outlet, which takes a matching LPG-rated hose secured with an appropriate hose clip. Use hose made for LPG - we stock rubber and PVC LPG hose to the relevant standards - and never substitute general-purpose rubber hose. Check the hose for a date code and replace it at the interval marked on it.
