Importance of Gas Connection Safety
When using gas-powered equipment in the foodservice industry, safety is extremely important and should be a top priority. Having a heavy-duty gas connection hose that will not only meet code but will also withstand the physical demands of commercial use is an essential part of your kitchen safety. Often times, a new restaurant or foodservice facility is designed with little regard for the gas connection hoses required for operation. Today we are going to take a look at Dormonts Safety System Gas Connector Kit and the benefits of using a flexible gas connector.
WHY USE A FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTOR?
The flexibility makes connecting your gas-powered appliances to the piping from the rear connection much easier, and also much closer to the wall, which allows for more working space. With the use of flexible gas connectors, you will find that it is easier to connect your gas appliances than it is with a rigid hose. Another advantage of flexible gas connectors is that they make cleaning easier. Cleaning is essential throughout your foodservice operation and using a flexible gas connection hose can make the process much easier because the gas connector can be disconnected and turned off.
DORMONT’S 1675KIT48 SAFETY SYSTEM GAS CONNECTOR KIT
The Dormont Safety System kit includes a 48" Dormont blue hose with a one-handed quick-disconnect fitting, designed specifically for the commercial kitchen, and is also NSF approved. The SnapFast® device that is included in this kit disconnects the gas flow for safe, easy maintenance and reconnects with a push and a click when it's time to clean your appliance and also has an internal thermal shutoff to prevent gas flow when the temperature inside the fitting exceeds 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The hose features a 304 stainless-steel corrugate tube, which is covered with a tightly weaved stainless-steel braid, and the outside of the connector is coated in blue antimicrobial PVC. Which prevents the growth of bacteria and mildew. Stress guard rotational fittings are also put in place on the ends of the connector to allow for a 360-degree rotation, which reduces the stress at both connector ends. This connector kit is also backed up by a lifetime warranty, should you run into any issues down the line.
