The question about self-service filling of propane gas cylinders at a filling station seemed to have been put to bed already.

7. May 2018/in Gas Regulator, Gas Cylinder & more, Gas Regulator, Gas Cylinder & more, General, LPG Everyday, LPG Knowledge, LPG Leisure Time

The product service life, also known as the product life cycle, is a major topic, particularly in the technical field. In recent years and decades, the product life cycle of such products has decreased considerably, which is due, among other things, to our “throwaway society” and the fact that development is progressing faster than ever before. Since some manufacturers specify the service life of their products, customers also ask GOK about it. In this article, we will answer the question of whether GOK pressure regulators have a service life. Read more

A balmy summer evening on holiday. You’ve invited your campsite neighbours over for dinner. You need a gas barbecue and gas hob to pacify the growling stomachs; the gas-powered fridge is perfect for keeping the cold drinks accessible for everyone.

Summer. Sunshine. Barbecue weather. You connect the pressure regulator/pressure reducer to the LPG cylinder and connect it to the gas barbecue using the hose assembly. You are already imagining the steaks sizzling away on the grill. The wonderful aromas of roasting meat and vegetables are already in the air and your mouth is starting to water.
