Materials used in the construction of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Natural Gas Reticulation System must be compatible with the properties of the gas.
They must have the necessary properties such as good mechanical strength, ductility, resistance against gas attack and environmental degradation. LPG and Natural Gas will cause natural rubber and some plastics to deteriorate.
Hence, installers and users should only use hoses and other equipment specifically designed for these gases.
