Reliable Gas Pressure Testing for UK Engineers

The Rothenberger U-Gauge Manometer Hose (6.7017) is a critical hardware accessory for heating engineers and gas professionals. At ECO Heat Shop, we prioritize safety and system integrity. Gas tightness testing is a legal requirement under UK Gas Safety Regulations, and using high-quality, high-wall thickness rubber hoses is the only way to ensure 100% accurate results during a let-by or tightness test.

This 2m flexible hose allows for a stable connection between the gas test point and your manometer, even in awkwardly positioned boiler cupboards. Its robust rubber construction is specifically designed to handle natural gas without degrading, ensuring a long service life for your diagnostic toolkit.

Key Features & Professional Benefits

• Precision Diagnostics: Facilitates accurate pressure readings for both natural gas installations and heating system balancing, helping you maintain optimal energy efficiency for your clients.
• Durable Wall Thickness: Featuring a 1/16″ wall thickness, this hose is designed to prevent kinking and collapsing, which can lead to false readings and safety oversights.
• Versatile Testing: While optimized for U-gauge manometers, this hose is equally effective when paired with modern digital manometers for hydrostatic and gas pressure checks.
• Eco-Safety: Identifying even the smallest gas leaks not only ensures safety but prevents the waste of fuel, aligning with sustainable property management goals.
