Question

hi ya, I have fitted a smev 8003 hob to my camper, I'm trying to find out what connector I need to fit a rubber pipe to the hob. Under the hob is a male threaded tap, could you tell me what I need and if you have one available. The distance to gas bottle is less than a metre so I was going to go straight through with rubber hose, thanks Paul

Answer

By law you are not permitted to use rubber hose inside a vehicle. A ventilated gas box must be provided which is sealed from the habitation area. You can use rubber hose inside the gas box but all piping in the habitation area must be in copper and securely fixed to the body of the vehicle.
