Need some buying guide and advice on hunting gas hose n Gas Regulator for my gas hob.

I tot can just get off the shelf ones from Ace Hardware?

To be safe, get the black hose type.
But I've been using transparent type for 10 years(not advisable).
Regardless of any hose you are going to use, you must make sure the connection points are intact at all times and depressurize it when not in use.

I need some sharing of buying experience.

But I found this milux with gas leakage and balance indicator is quite usefull.

Price is around RM50 plus minus.

For Gas Regulator with pressure I feel is horrible, cause my mom is using it. I feel is dangerous cause the gas run out so fast and is smelly just like hawker stall.

Looks cool, too bad i didn't manage to find one while i was hunting one so i just get something off the shelf

i just use the most basic type

i remember i bought the regulator twice recently. did not use them because i can hear the sound of gas coming out.
cant remember the brands but both with Sirim cert

then i get a Milux, and it works perfectly.

Ha ha

few months back when we moved in SG and bought the gas hose & head from JB, the gas delivery guy said this is malaysia one, can't use in sg without safety lock.

He recommended us for this $70, until today got this thread and notice it made in germany.
Totally can't smell gas leak at all.

Check ur gas hob specs first. A lot of hobs with safety valve cannot use fancy high pressure regulators.
The one normally sell at hardware shops are ok. Go for safety fire resistant hose, yellow color. They are the trend now.
Also I always look for sirim sticker. And test with soap water after fitting.

I only trust Chestar or Milux. Never gave me problems

There is only 2 type of regulator in the market. The residential type have 2 type which is lower pressure at the spec of 2kg/hr flow rate and 1.5kg/hr. 2kg/hr are more common.

While commercial type is higher pressure which is 6kg/hr. But mostly can adjustable from 0-6kg/hr.

For home use get the residential type.

You have hard time to read the gauge if you put the gas inside the cabinet. The cabinet height prevent you from reading from the top. Unless you put the gas outside.

Good point. maybe can buy a small side mirror from car accessory shop to reflect the reading of the meter.

I think your parent without meter reading also cook as well, just notice the fire turn into red & warm color.. That is a signal to tell you wanna change as soon

Your purpose to get this kind of regulator is to check gas remaining and leaking? But it is not fullproof. Don't see it solve your problem.

leaking no, but gas remaining yes.

Got few time wife cook half way no gas, she jump sky high to the roof.

Ha.....

Here a simple solution and 100% got gas all year round. Just get a spare tong gas. 1 run out, switch over. And take your time to order another 1. No hurry.

Easy solution and no need gauge.

Not everyone have nice big kitchen, space is limited to 1 tong only.

10's a lot for good advice.

You can use your hand to check the weight of the cylinder
