How many of you using gas tank and your stove is located above oven? My rubber hose is running above oven as the connection point to stove is on right side while gas is at left of oven. Any chance the hose will melt when I operate my oven?

If you are concerned, you can opt for silicone based hose which should have a higher melting temperature.

Was at Ace hardware few days ago, it seems they only have standard hose, was looking for fire resistant gas hose btw.

Fire resistant hose?

Anyway, if you really want some good stuff, you can look for Toyox silicone hose (Made in Japan). You can find them at some of those hardware shop or hydraulic shop but it is not going to be easy to find. They are also quite expensive compared to those China/Malaysia/Thailand made hoses. They will last for quite long.

Those clear one with braids between the two layer also got 2 types. Cheaper one are usually pvc and they could probably handle 60C or so. Silicone based will easily handle over 100C.

I still had a 10M long Toyox hose that I use for car washing. Even after 15 years baked under sun, it is still soft and maintain the shape.

Appreciate all info shared. Saw some fire resistant hose in Google, dunno if it's appropriate for gas pipe though...LOL. Will look out for Toyox, unsure if there's a way to check exterior temperature of oven while running because it can easily go beyond 100c.

Yes is a concern as the pipe could melt as the oven heat is very hot

That's my concern because I do bake at times.

where do you put your tank or is it pipe from Gas Malaysia?

My tank is on the left side of lower cabinet next to oven. Will be hidden inside the cabinet. Did a check with my existing kitchen, it's the same setup with rubber hose running above oven.

I think the build in over heat dissipation are on the front. If you don't use the over for long hours will be ok.

Noted on insulation. So far no problem from existing setup that's been used over 7 years but just want to make it safe for prevention.

If using oven for baking can be more than 1 hour. And those oven that is build into cabinet had no outer cover and the heat will be from around the oven.

Ya, when baking butter cakes I usually used around 45 mins and running between 150 - 180 degree celsius. Will get something to isolate the pipe.

Only realized when everything is done. Found out about the problem while I'm connecting the gas hose to hob.

I won't be worry too much.

Clip the hose at the bottom of the table. (close to bottom table)

Oven have insulation around the body case. Even inside is 180c, outside is just warm. Definitely is alright for a gas hose.

If you still not satisfy, Use a flexible copper pipe run over it. Than joint a short gas hose with clip to the hob.

Noted. I'll run the over then check external temperature just to be safe. Thanks and much appreciate your input.
