Choosing the Right Krowne Gas Connectors for Your Equipment
Any operator who prefers to use gas equipment in their commercial kitchen knows that gas hoses perform a simple but crucial job: connecting stationary or mobile equipment to a supply of natural gas. Of course, not all gas hoses are created equally, and Krowne gas connectors are designed with operators and their equipment in mind. Krowne's catalog of gas hose options and their user-friendly features mean you're sure to find the right option for your gas equipment, whether you're purchasing an individual hose or searching for an all-in-one kit.
Features & Benefits of Krowne Gas Connectors
From heavy-duty construction to ease-of-use improvements, Krowne gas hoses are constructed to withstand the demands of a commercial kitchen and ensure gas equipment is correctly and safely installed. This durability begins with the materials used to build the hoses: corrugated tubing for flexibility, a stainless steel radial wrap to prevent the hose from stretching, and a protective PVC coating.
Other notable design elements include rotational ends, which turn 360 degrees to ease installation, and a one-handed quick disconnect that enables equipment to be easily disconnected by service technicians and back-of-house employees for cleaning or maintenance. Krowne gas hoses are available with the following specifications:
- Lengths: 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 inches
- Interior Diameters: 1⁄2, 3⁄4, 1, and 11⁄4 inches
Why Use a Krowne Gas Connection Kit?
Complete kits from Krowne include the essential parts you need to hook up gas equipment: the gas hose, gas valve, restraining kit, and two 90-degree elbows. Here's why those parts are important:
- The gas hose, or the gas connector, is the connecting tube that actually runs from the equipment to the gas hookup. These are the most crucial component of a successful gas equipment installation and are also sold individually.
- Required by code, a ball valve enables manual shut-off within a few feet of the equipment.
- Designed to prevent the hose from being overextended, the restraining kit includes mounting hardware and is cut 1 foot shorter than the hose. It's easy to disconnect, so this safety measure won't interfere with routine cleaning or maintenance.
- With two 90-degree elbows, gas equipment can be installed correctly no matter the limitations of the layout.
Operators can choose from dozens of Krowne gas connection kits that offer a variety of hose lengths, interior diameter combinations, and coupling types, ensuring the right option is available to suit the requirements of nearly any gas equipment installation.
