Can you bury this hose to be used for a outdoor standby generator? The generator is approximately 30-40 feet from the outdoor gas meter.

I would put it in pvc or some type of plastic solid heavy wall pvc is best as the next home owner or yard contractor crush or cut the line.check local code.

probably since it has a coating, but i would recomend using black pipe. it may be cheaper in the end and alot stonger. i would also paint the black pipe before installing it underground, first i would contact your local code enforcement burying this line may be illegal, witch is why i returned the gas line i bought it was illegal for me to fun it through a wall, i had to use black pipe and it was cheaper. lowes and home depot will thread the pipe almost to any size you need. and black pipe comes in 21 foot lengths.i paid about 30.00 for 1 21 foot length and i needed 3 plus all the fittings and pipe dope, cost was only about 200.00 for everything including paint for the pipe so it won't rust.

I am recalling something here that does not concern me in that my application was in a crawl space but my understanding from the mnfr. that it must be within a water tight tube or pipe. I found an installation document at the site http://www.proflexcsst.com. The tubing is stainless steel but really thin and vulnerable to mechanical damage.

Not sure if it is rated......I would recommend sleeving it in PVC conduit rated for such use.

I just read the booklet I had to buy and read, to be certified here in Oregon. It says you can bury it, just must put in plastic conduit, like you would single strands of electric wires.Best to ask also a store that sells it locally, or an HVAC guy, just to be sure of code, without calling "THE CITY!!!" Grainger's is a store in the whole US I believe.The pre-flex from Amazon is a good product. Use special teflon tape for gas, and pipe dope for gas as well. I like to be extra safe.

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.

It depends on length of the run as well. Look online and there are good resources to help you determine if 1/2" is adequate for your job. I decided against using it at my house because I am in lightening alley in Florida and I did not like the pictures I found of appropriately grounded hose getting blown out.

You won't be able to move this thing after you fill it. Go the hardware store and buy yourself a white "marine hose" (to distinguish it from your other hoses). They're usually about 25 feet long and relatively inexpensive. I wouldn't want to fill a container of emergency drinking water with a hose I've previously used for garden fertilizer.

8 feet. Works well with plumbers tape. Be sure it's for gas fittings and not pvc.

Yes, you definitely need to vent it outside. It comes with two hoses about six inch diameter each.

I am actually planning on doing the same with mine. I figure with a little imagination you could rig it up. I'm gona try to put into utility room and put a Y on my dryer vent hose and run the dryer and generator both out of the dryer vent. So my wife won't have to go outside in bad conditions to crank generator. I plan on only running mine on propane anyway unless I have to use gas so I don't gum up carb.

If the garage is attached to the house do not run the generator in it even with all the doors open. A gas engine needs fresh air to burn efficiently. A 14 gauge extension cord will do just fine. I ran a 100 foot extension to my neighbor's during an outage and it worked fine. Just remember to run the generator first then plug the cord in to the appliance. It provides a cleaner current on start up.

This hose is labeled to be used as an outdoor house only. You should take the extra time and expense and do it right with a rigid pipe

I used it in my boats fuel supply, about 7' long. its a stiff hose but can be bend some. works great, putting in water finally this week. :)

It's for low voltage so I don't think so. You just plug the hose in no electrical connection.

It will not work well for that. The hose is not long enough to extract gas from a car.

The hose is 12 ft. Alligator clip wires which attach to battery are 4 ft. Just used again this morning-cold weather in WI causing tires to lose some air,so unit has really come in handy (as compared to pulling out big compressor).

The power cord is 8 feet and the air hose is rated at 25 feet but that is not realistic. It will pull the compressor around before you could stretch it that far. Overall this is a great little compressor but the air hose is a little bit of a hassle. It would have been better if they put a longer heavy duty cord on it and a shorter hose. If you were to mount this stationary then the air hose would be fine. Specs are at viaircorp dot com.

Yes you can. The suction is not affected by a longer hose, the longer hose will let you route the run off further away from the pumped area.

The one I purchased was advertised at 50 feet long, have not physically verified this with a tape measure. Laying the cord on the workshop floor it looks very close to the 50 foot air hose I use everyday. Good purchase as it is easier to handle than my 50 amp cord.

Hi Gary, good question and i do not know the answer. I know the gas paloma i had could be plugged into a garden hose. Call a plumber who sells Rinnai and ask him, i found they are always willing to help or call Rinnai directly. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.
