The 16/20 – Hosetail is a professional PEX gas fitting designed for LPG gas installations where a flexible hose connection is required on a 16–20mm PEX gas line. This fitting allows qualified gas installers to securely connect rigid PEX gas piping to approved LPG gas hoses, providing flexibility where appliance movement, vibration, or servicing access is required.
Manufactured for strength and long-term reliability, the hosetail fitting ensures a secure transition between PEX gas pipe and flexible hose assemblies. It is commonly used in residential and commercial installations for gas stoves, gas hobs, gas geysers, gas heaters, gas fireplaces, and other LPG-powered appliances.
PEX gas systems are widely preferred due to their resistance to corrosion, vibration, and scale build-up. The 1620 hosetail complements these advantages by offering excellent pressure handling and temperature resistance while maintaining a tight, leak-free connection when installed correctly.
The hosetail design allows the gas hose to be securely clamped or fastened, reducing the risk of hose slippage or gas leaks. Its compact size makes it suitable for installation in cupboards, behind appliances, service cavities, or plant rooms.
When installed using the correct PEX press or crimp system and approved hose clamps, this fitting supports compliance with LPG installation standards and safe long-term operation.
This fitting is suitable for:
– Connecting 16–20mm PEX gas pipe to flexible LPG hoses
– Gas stove and hob installations
– Gas geyser and heater connections
– Residential and commercial gas reticulation
– Professional installer toolkits and maintenance work
