Cadac Easy Chef

[John_374375667]

I have just purchased a Cadac Easy Chef BBQ/Grill. I want to run this from my spare Calor Lite gas cylinder in the front locker. Are there any restrictions on the length of hose I can have from the regulator to the appliance? To save me removing the gas cylinder I estimate I will need 2m of hose.

John - I asked the same question some time ago and even emailed Cadac. They replied "to only use the length recommended in their instructions", if I remeber correctly 1.5 metres. I have a 4 metre hose for my cadac so that I can get it far enough away from the awning when it attached to the external gas point. Mine works fine and there is no loss of gas pressure.

hi,

they are not allowed to sell you more than 3mts of flexible rubber hose,dont think its law,its just an industry recommendation

I use 5 mtr on a gas torch to thaw pipes no problems

I use two three metre length with bayonet connections on my Cadac and have no problems,its more of a trip hazard imo.

Thanks everyone. Looks like I will be okay with 2m then.

check date on hose .

The date on the gas pipe/hose is important, but if the gas pipe was stored correctly prior to use then it is irrelevant to some degree, LPG gas pipe has a 3 year life from the date it is first used/fitted....or obviously if the pipe deteriorates prior then it would need changing sooner.

So you could have an LPG gas pipe/hose that is 12 months or more old before it is fitted, so....providing it is stored correctly then it should be OK.

Or that is how I understand it
