The inner hose is made from heavy duty corrugated stainless steel, but it also has a stainless steel outer braid that helps protect the inner hose from stretching when the equipment is moved for cleaning or maintenance. This braid is what allows the hose to be used in mobile applications, so if you plan on moving your equipment for cleaning and maintenance, a moveable hose is a must-have item.
This hose measures 48" long and has a 3/4" NPT connection size. All Dormont blue hoses also come with Stress Guard rotational fittings that reduce stress on the hose, prevent kinking and twisting, and make it easier to install.
A blue PVC coating helps this hose resist damage from cuts and scratches, while offering another layer of protection to the inner hose and braid. The coating is also antimicrobial, and it makes cleaning easy!
Quick disconnects like the one included in this kit are a simple but valuable addition to any gas equipment installation. The 2-piece design allows you to disengage equipment from the gas connection in mere seconds and creates a secure, gas-tight seal when the equipment is connected. Best of all, it's engineered so that you can reach into narrow spaces to connect and disconnect it with a single hand unlike most quick disconnects, which are 2-handed.
This innovative accessory helps you maximize the life of your connector while also improving safety. It swivels as equipment is moved close to and away from the wall, reducing stress on the connection points and preventing the hose from kinking or bending at the fittings.
This kit includes a number of other useful components for installation, including (1) elbow, a full port valve, and a restraining cable with all of the hardware necessary to install it.

When it comes to gas and the gas appliances in your restaurant or institutional kitchen, what can be more important than safety? The reasons are obvious. In fact, you know you can’t afford to have your kitchen facility not meet the standards of applicable safety codes. So, when you need to connect your appliances to your gas supply, it only makes sense to use a blue hose gas connector, not only because of its excellent reputation, but more importantly because of its track record for safety, reliability, innovation, and performance. It’s no exaggeration to say that the blue hose is the gold standard in gas connectivity. It was the world’s first commercial kitchen gas connector, invented more than 40 years ago at Dormont Manufacturer, the company that led the development of the standard to which all foodservice gas connectors must comply. With millions of installations and counting, no other gas connector comes anywhere near the blue hose and its status as the preferred and specified product in food service. Today’s blue hose is the result of continuous improvement, with impressive design features unheard of when it was originally introduced. Features like tightly-woven stainless steel braid that prevents the corrugations from stretching when the gas equipment is moved. The heavy-duty stainless steel corrugated tubing gives the blue hose superb bending properties and extremely long life. Anti-microbial PVC coating for helping to prevent grease buildup and inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. A coating that won’t shrink, even in the high temperature environment behind kitchen gas equipment. And stress guard rotational and fittings that reduce stress at the connector ends, and even make it easier to install the blue hose. Because of these, and other features, the blue hose offers a host of benefits in addition to its safety, increased mobility, higher kitchen productivity, and cleaner kitchens. Did you know that the blue hose is made in Export, Pennsylvania? At a manufacturing facility right outside Pittsburgh, and that it carries a lifetime warranty? There’s another very important aspect of Dormont and blue hose gas connectors you should know about: the highly innovative gas connector accessories that when used with the blue hose make commercial kitchens even safer and more efficient and productive. Snapfast, the only one-handed, push-to-connect, quick disconnect available in the foodservice industry. Designed specifically for commercial kitchens, Snapfast makes moving gas equipment for cleaning and maintenance exceptionally easy, because only one hand is needed to reconnect it to the appliance. Plus, Snapfast includes a thermal shut off feature that automatically shuts of the gas when the internal temperature exceeds 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Dormont’s Swivel MAX multi-plane rotational device is another remarkable connector accessory designed by Dormont engineers. Use on either one end of the blue hose or both, this unique device gives the blue hose a full 360 degree range of motion. It reduces stress on the gas connector, makes moving appliances so much easier for cleaning and maintenance, and expands aisle space, because gas equipment can be moved closer to walls. The Swivel MAX is an excellent solution in situations where the gas manifold is situated in a low, or other non-ideal location. Another connector accessory exclusive to Dormont is the Safety Quik, a truly unique device that does the work of both a quick disconnect and a shut off valve. A cleverly designed all-in-one device, it prevents the gas connector from being disconnected until the valve handle is turned to shut off the valve, and it will not allow the valve to be opened until the blue hose is reconnected to Safety Quik. It also includes an automatic thermal shut off feature designed to activate between 250 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Dormont’s Safety-Set is a highly effective positioning system for returning caster-mounted equipment to its correct location after being moved for cleaning or maintenance. This is important because equipment needs to be positioned properly beneath fire suppression and kitchen ventilation systems. Safety-Set satisfies national fire protection codes 17-A and 96, which are being enforced increasingly throughout the country. Safety-Set will withstand up to 1000 pounds of crushed force, and unlike other positioning systems, it has an open floor design. That means that the caster wheels sit directly on the floor, not on any part of the positioning system, eliminating the need to re-level the appliance. Safety-Set accommodates 4”, 5”, and 6” casters. So when it comes to connecting your foodservice gas appliance, connect with confidence. Don’t take a risk, especially when you consider all that blue hose gas connectors offer, and especially consider the exceptional benefits you get, with Dormont connector accessories. Improve safety, productivity, efficiency, cleanliness, and space.
