We all use cooking gas cylinders. If white, work with gas. Whatever you want to cook, you have to turn on the stove. Naturally, cylinders arrive in our homes for a month and a half, 2 months. After that, we will change the cylinder.. and do re-filling. All this happens all the time. But what about the pipe from the cylinder to the stove through the regulator? When should it be changed? We may doubt whether it has an expiry date. If you know the details, you will be surprised.
Gas cylinder pipe (cylinder hose) also has an expiry date in India. So we have to keep that date in mind and change it once it expires. If the pipe breaks before that date, it should be replaced without delay. Negligence is not good at all for this pipe. It is life-threatening. Mothers think that it will cost money to change the pipe. They don't like spending money. They think that they should save. But we need to recognize this and change the pipe according to time.
Generally, if rubber pipe is used, its lifespan is 3 to 5 years. If we buy a good quality one, that pipe will last for 5 years. If the quality is low, it will last up to 3 years. After that, we can see it gradually decaying. Whenever a new cylinder is brought, the condition of the pipe must be checked. Whether it is cracked or loose, it should be replaced without compromise.
It is better that you buy the pipe from a good branded company. Good material is used in its manufacture. Moreover.. they have manufacturing dates on them. You can tell when it was made by looking at the date. If you think it's too old. Don't buy it. Buy the same as a new pipe. From the date of manufacture.. even if it is kept unused for many years. The quality of the pipe can decrease. Weather affects it.
Rats have a habit of gnawing everything in our houses. There used to be rats in the kitchen. That pipe should be monitored daily. Because. Rats have strong teeth. If they see anything, they feel like biting. It's fun for them. But fatal to us. So.. If you are careful about the gas pipe, it will save you. Sometimes.. while cutting any vegetable.. the knife.. hits the pipe.. if the pipe is damaged.. then the pipe should be changed too. Don't think about money here. Accidents due to cooking gas are happening daily across the country. Many people are losing their lives. So let's be alert. Let's brake the accidents.
