Is this hose weather proof? I need a hose to connect to my gas fire pit (1/2" gas line), will this hose work?

We put this on an outside grill at our fire station . to worked fine and is still working a year later. It was also outside and used during the winter. It is in a lean-to type area so it is somewhat protected from the weather but will get ran and snowed on.

Yes, the hose is for nature gas. It is also whether proof. It seems to be a good purchase

Works just fine. I only have about a foot of the hose exposed but it has been in the elements for about 3 months with no signs of wear. I live in N Texas so get the heat but not really cold.

It has a UV coating on it but like anything, enough time in the sun will damage the outer coating. Wouldn't damage the line itself. 8 would recommend removing the hose when not in use. It does have a quick disconnect.

Yes it is waterproof. I also used it to hook up a gas fire pit. Works just great!

Mine won't because I have mine run through an uninsulated, unprotected water hose - I expect that if water can reach the Lixit it will work just fine. My guess is that unless you have a heated exterior faucet or live in a part of the country that stays below freezing most of the winter, this will be more of a warm weather / warm day solution.

It does come wit a short connection hose. The connection is an acme connector/thread. The one (two) things I had to buy extra were adapters to the side connections so I could hook up acme threaded hoses to my BBQ & fire pit.

this answer is similiar to the other answer you have gotten. my hose was a 5/8 inch industrial apex that can withstand up to 180 degrees. i live in tucson, arizona and the summer afternoons can cause any water left in the hose to 150 degrees or hotter.these washers will fit any typical garden hose coupler or any hose bid that is standard for yard or garden use.

The outside diameter of the hose is 1/2 inch. I purchased it so I could siphon gas from my car for a 1KW generator. Haven't had to use it yet, however I expect it will work fine.

Hello there, I bought the hose to allow the use of a large propane container rather than the small ones that the unit is designed for. I don't plan to move the grill around or use it portably so buying a lot of small containers vs. a large one once in awhile made both monetary sense as well as environmentally friendly sense. The hose fits a standard propane tank and the grill nicely and is just right as far a length was concerned for me. If you plan to use it portably there is no point but if it will be stationary you will save money and a lot of trips for more small cans. I hope this answers your question and is helpful. By the way there are other solutions from a variety of companies but they all require a lot of fittings to make it work and this opens the door to a host of other problems.

I would say yes. I have it connected to the outdoor faucet in the AZ sun. The water that comes out of the hose is very hot for the first minute. No damage to the hose.

I live in AZ...not much rain but have this in a shed on a table. I don't think you would want to use it in the rain. The cord is one you plug in (like an electric skillet) and it would be dangerous if it was raining. I love this little grill.

It will work outdoors in cold and rainy weather. I have tried starting fires with mine and it has worked quite well. However, if the gas you put into it is cold, then it won't work very well. Make sure that the gas is about room temperature before filling the torch.

It is not recommended to connect to natural gas line. You can purchase a conversion hose and hook it up to a 20lb. tank though. It has one burner, but it is a loop burner, so it covers the surface of the grill very well.

As long as the tank, can fix the hose it will work, but you will need to have the tank at a high point cause gravity is needed to get gas out of tank.

It has to be used outdoor if using propane, and yes, the unit can be damaged by rain or snow, so it's better if you cover it. But do not bother buying this and hoping it will work on propane. Mine worked for a day and failed. No customer service, no parts, only speaks french (which I do). DO NOT BUY!

This has been the best hose we've EVER bought. Since we don't live in New Mexico, my guess would be that it would hold-up fine in the heat. It is ruggedly constructed an ours is still in perfect condition after a years use. I hope that helps.

I'd say "Yes, but ..." The cable is rated to 700 degrees "for short periods"; flames and coals can be hotter, so you have to be careful where the cable runs. We have a Weber gas grill with a very heavy lid, and they say to avoid pinching it between hot surfaces without insulation. Some grills have an access hole; I'd use that if available, otherwise wrap part of the cable in something fireproof.

yes this product will indeed withstand heat. We had used it on a part on our car (the high pressure hose) and it was fixed right away. To this day, we have no problem with hose. We gave this to our mechanic and he uses it all the time in some of the repairs that he needs to do and even says that it is awesome

the outside diameter is half inch. You may need to make a reducer hose in order to evacuate most situations. There are other products out there that are more versatile for the money

Yes, this is perfect as a garden hose. The outside covering of this hose will take the weather if left outside.
