The gas fitting in the back yard that nobody counts

Ask most people what gas fittings they have and they will list the cooktop, maybe a heater, and the hot water system. Almost nobody mentions the hose running from the bayonet or the cylinder to the barbecue, which is a genuine gas connection and the one living the hardest life.

It is a flexible rubber and fabric assembly. It sits outdoors, it is coiled and uncoiled, it spends summers in direct sunlight and winters in the weather, and it gets bent in the same spot every time it is put away. Rubber perishes under every one of those conditions.

It is also a consumable, not permanent plumbing. Manufacturers put a life on these assemblies and many hoses carry a date, and the honest test for most households is simpler than that: if you cannot remember buying it, it is old enough to look at properly.

Looking at it properly means checking for cracking on the outer surface, especially near the fittings and anywhere it bends repeatedly, and for hardness where it used to be supple. And there is a real test you can run with washing up liquid: soapy water on the hose and the connections, gas on, appliance off. Bubbles mean gas is escaping.

Gas work in Cherrybrook

The hose lives the hardest life

Outdoors, coiled and uncoiled, sunlight in summer and weather in winter.

Rubber perishes under all three, which is what it is doing right now.

Look near the fittings

Cracking shows first where it bends and where it meets the connections.

Hardness where it used to be supple is the other sign.

Soapy water is a real test

Gas on, appliance off, soapy water on the hose and the joints.

Bubbles mean gas is escaping, and it is the test a fitter uses.

If you cannot remember buying it

Then it is old enough to be looked at closely rather than glanced at.

Many hoses carry a date, which is worth finding.

Permanent is a different job

Fixed pipework rather than a hose across the paving, sized and certified.

Worth asking about if the barbecue never moves anyway.

What Cherrybrook locals ask us before booking a plumber.

Ask us yours Licensed plumbing van covering Cherrybrook and the surrounding suburbs
Does a barbecue hose wear out?

It does, and it is a consumable rather than permanent plumbing. The hose from a bayonet or a cylinder to a barbecue is a flexible rubber and fabric assembly that lives outdoors, gets coiled and uncoiled, and spends its life in sunlight and weather. Rubber perishes under all three.

How would I know mine has?

Look at it properly rather than glancing. Cracking on the outer surface, particularly near the fittings and anywhere it has been bent repeatedly. Hardness where it used to be supple. Any weeping, stiffness or visible damage at the connections. If any of that is there, replace it rather than think about it.

Is there a simple test?

Soapy water on the hose and the connections with the gas turned on and the appliance off. Bubbles mean gas is escaping. It is a genuinely reliable test, it is what a fitter does, and it takes a couple of minutes with washing up liquid.

How often should it be replaced?

Manufacturers put a life on these assemblies and it is worth reading rather than guessing, and many hoses carry a date. In practice, if you cannot remember buying it, it is old enough to look at closely.

What if I want the barbecue plumbed in permanently?

That is a different job and a proper one. A permanent connection is fixed pipework rather than a hose across the paving, and it is sized, installed and certified like any other gas work.

I can smell gas. What do I do?

Everyone outside first. No light switches, nothing electrical, no phone used indoors. Turn the supply off at the meter only if you can reach it safely, then ring from outside.

What does gas work cost in Cherrybrook?

A hose and connection check is included with any other gas work at the property. An appliance connection is $200 to $500. A new gas point is $500 to $1,200. A leak test and certificate is $180 to $350.
