Whether on the barbecue, the patio heater or in the caravan: Many people use their LPG system for years – without ever replacing the gas hoses or pressure regulators.

Legal standards and technical regulations stipulate clear replacement intervals – regardless of the external condition. This article explains why that is and what time limits apply.

Gas filters are now almost standard in the LPG systems of motor caravans and caravans. For relatively little money, they offer a lot of protection against contamination in LPG for the sometimes very expensive end devices, such as gas heating, refrigerators or gas-powered barbecues. However: When is the gas filter or filter cartridge “full” and when should it be changed by the operator?

When and how should I change the cartridge in the GOK Caramatic ConnectClean gas filter?

When do I have to replace stainless steel gas hoses in LPG systems?

1. June 2020/in LPG Everyday, LPG in Commerce, LPG in Private Housholds

In order to connect a gas stove in the household or in a large kitchen with a gas cylinder or a pressure reducer, hose assemblies made of stainless steel (metal corrugated hose, stainless steel corrugated tube) or metal braided corrugated pipes are used sometimes.

Do GOK pressure regulators have a service life?

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
