    So what are the Oxy/Acet hoses and the old Primus green hoses made of they look like rubber to me.

    Obviously the properly licensed and qualified gasfitters and plumbers, who are the only people legally allowed to fit the respective hoses will know the difference. There are stickers/tags on each hose which identify their type and intended usage and which relevant standards they comply with. I ask again, why are you asking this question now, three years after you've fitted the hose?

    Some of the hoses have tags missing.

    That's all.

    Learner,
    I'm pretty relaxed thanks, don't need unwinding. Obviously if there were no tags on the hose you wouldn't buy it, but I'm willing to bet that there is some form of identification marked on the stainlesss steel braid itself. Would you care to answer my previous question: why are you asking if it will leak three years after you've (illegally) installed it? You obviously decided three years ago that it would be fine, why ask for advice now? Judging from your previous posts you don't listen to advice anyway.
    And while you're answering questions, what is it that you do for a living again? Was it an electronics engineer or an auto electrician?

    Oh, what a twisted web we weave when at first we practice to deceive.

    Water flexi's have a blue tag on them, gas flexi's have a yellow tag.
    The tags are for the most part placed in such a fashion that it takes a bit of removing, usually in the form of a "sticker-like" tag.
    Tha gas one's usually have a yellow line braided into the stainless steel braid.
    Its near impossible to mix them up, and to be quite honest I dont think ive ever seen them at bunnings,
    ill have to have a look-see.
    If they do have them they shouldnt, just like a lot of things they sell.

    OK I will search for yellow lines. I am sure that I could not find a yellow line.

    When I gave the hose to my licensed plumber he just installed it without checking for the markings.

    I do not think I have done anything illegal.

    Here in adelaide, bunnies sell them for about $30 bucks. At plumbing store- $8, sucked in if you bought them from bunnings.

    i dont get the question?

    is he asking if the gas hose will leak watter after using it for 3 years with no problems?

    is he asking if he can now go and use that same hose on gass and have it not leak?

    is he asking if he can use a watter hose on gass and have it not leak?

    is he asking if he can use a watterhose on watter and have it not leak?

    or is he not even askign a question?



    ps you dont actualy expect us to blive you sent the hose to a lab to be tested do you?

    Weisyboy,
    he was just asking questions to get a rise from people (trolling) and I was asking him questions trying to bait him in return. I wouldn't be suprised if nothing he asked was factual.

    Ya think Mick? I thought he was rather similar to some others over the last year who were banned too. My guess is that one of them got a new ISP and IP address and came back to stir the punters.
