Connection between L.A.V. and auto switchover

[themorgatron]

Hello,

I was just wondering if a connection between the auto switch-over valve (including ecv and test nipple) and caravan can be done using two male threaded nozzles connected using lpg hose and jubilee clips?

Ideally i would of liked to use 1/2 male threaded hose either end to connect the two but this wasn't available at the merchants.

I just wanted to confirm how I've done it is acceptable, though maybe not best practise.

Cheers

LOL you shouldn't be doing it at all unless your GSR. You'll blow yourself and the rest of the caravan park up.

Corgi book seems to think its ok:

"all flexible hose connections should preferably be made using factory-fitted fittings. Where this is not appropriate, connections may be secured using approved worm drive hose clamps.."

That's pretty much what I thought or am I reading it wrong?

Yes but after the ACV ECV and the Test nipple should be rigid.
