Gas Bayonet Fittings FAQ
What types of bayonet fittings are available?
Bayonet fittings come in various configurations, including wall sockets, floor sockets, and hose assemblies, made in materials like brass, chrome, or stainless steel to suit different installation requirements and environmental conditions.
Can I use bayonet fittings for both LPG and natural gas systems?
Yes, our gas bayonet fittings are compatible with both LPG and natural gas, providing reliable and safe connections in a wide range of commercial and industrial systems—from kitchens to heating applications.
How should gas bayonet fittings be installed?
Installation of the female (wall or floor) fitting must be conducted by a licensed gas fitter in compliance with local gas regulations. The male component is typically pre-attached to the hose by the manufacturer.
What safety precautions should be taken during installation and disconnection?
Always shut off the gas supply before handling fittings. Ensure both male and female ends are clean, align their locking lugs properly, and push and twist to secure. After connection or disconnection, check for leaks—light gas odours on removal can be normal, but persistent leaks require professional attention.
What maintenance practices help ensure safe operation?
- Inspect fittings regularly for wear, debris, or damage, particularly the O-rings and locking mechanisms.
- Clean them as needed to prevent buildup.
- Schedule annual inspections by a qualified gas fitter to guarantee continued safety and performance.
Are bayonet fittings self-sealing when not in use?
Yes. When disconnected, bayonet fittings typically seal automatically. However, avoid assuming this means no inspection is needed. Always verify valve closure and check for potential leaks after disconnection.
