These include, in particular, gas pressure regulators or changeover valves. In existing systems, you often find designations on the components such as DuoControl or DuoComfort. We&#8217;ll tell you which products from the Caramatic line from GOK can be used as a replacement.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It has now been discussed on most of the campsites in Germany: <strong>after ten years from the<\/strong> date of manufacture at the latest, for example, gas pressure regulators and gas hoses have to be removed from the gas systems of camping vehicles and new ones have to be installed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A DuoControl or DuoComfort from the manufacturer Truma is often installed in existing systems for the stationary operation of gas heating, fridges and similar at the campsite. However: Can you easily replace these Truma products with products from GOK?
