The gas hose adapter may be small, but it plays a critical role in water heater safety. This component connects your gas supply line to the water heater, and any failure here means potential gas leakage.
Vanka gas hose adapters are manufactured from high-grade brass, offering:
Corrosion resistance against natural gas and LPG
Strength and durability under pressure
Precision-cut threads for perfect sealing
Use Thread Sealant: Apply Teflon tape or pipe compound to threaded connections (never to flare fitting surfaces).
Avoid Over-tightening: Tighten securely but do not deform the fittings.
Always Leak Test: Apply soapy water to connections after installation. Bubbles indicate a leak that must be fixed immediately.
Vanka gas hose adapters are optimized for various gas sources:
Natural Gas Adapters: Designed for pipeline natural gas, with flow rates matched to household water heater requirements
LPG Adapters: Suitable for tanked liquefied petroleum gas, with higher pressure ratings to accommodate LPG characteristics
Every Vanka water heater comes standard with adapters matched to local gas types, ensuring safe and convenient installation.
