    Catering Hoses

    Catering Hoses

    At BES, we understand that in any commercial kitchen, safety and reliability are essential. That’s why we supply a complete range of catering hoses for connecting commercial cookers and appliances to gas supplies, including Dormont® and Caterflex® hoses in both quick-release and bayonet connection types. All catering hoses on offer are manufactured to BS EN ISO 9001 standards, tested to meet the demands of high-use professional kitchens, and designed for use with natural gas or LPG, depending on model specification. Each hose features a durable yellow cover for corrosion resistance, visibility and ease of cleaning.

    With over 50 years supporting the gas trade, BES delivers catering hoses and accessories that comply with recognised safety standards and arrive ready for installation, with next working day delivery available across the UK.

    A Wide Range Of Catering Hoses, Fittings And Accessories

    Our catering hose range includes flexible gas connectors, sockets and restraining devices designed specifically for commercial catering and hospitality environments.

    Quick Release Hoses

    We stock a wide selection of quick-release Caterflex® and Dormont® catering hoses that allow a fast, secure connection and disconnection of appliances for cleaning or maintenance. Available in ½", ¾" and 1" BSP sizes and lengths up to 1.5 metres, these hoses are manufactured with safety locking mechanisms and non-return valves to prevent gas escape when disconnected. Options include braided and unbraided versions, with braided types offering extra mechanical protection and resistance to damage in busy kitchen environments. Popular products include the Dormont® Catering Hose – ¾" × 1500mm and GASM8 Quick Release Caterflex Hose – ½" × 1500mm.

    Bayonet Hoses

    Bayonet catering hoses provide a secure push-and-twist connection between the gas supply and cooker inlet. Manufactured in lengths from 1000mm to 1500mm, our hoses are ideal for appliances that do not require frequent disconnection. Browse our range including the popular GASM8 Bayonet Caterflex Hose – 1500mm × ½" BSP TM.

    Cooker Hose Sockets

    BES stocks both bayonet and quick-release sockets for use with compatible catering hoses. Choose from angled or straight models to suit your kitchen layout, such as GASM8 Bayonet Straight Cooker Socket – ½" BSP TM and GASM8 Caterflex Hose Quick Release Socket – ¾" BSP.

    Restraining Kits

    All commercial catering installations must include a restraining chain or device to prevent strain on the hose when appliances are pulled forward. BES offers GASM8 Restraining Cooker Chains for hoses from 1m to 1.5m in length, helping maintain compliance with installation standards.

    Catering Hose Notices

    Adhesive Catering Hose Notices, such as the Adhesive Catering Hose Notice, are available to provide clear on-site safety information and ensure Gas Safe compliance during appliance installation and servicing.

    Choosing The Right Catering Hose

    When selecting a catering hose, consider:

    • Connection type: quick-release hoses are ideal for appliances that need regular movement or cleaning, while bayonet hoses suit fixed installations.

    • Gas type: ensure the hose is marked for natural gas or LPG use, as hoses are not universally interchangeable.

    • Length: measure from the socket to the appliance inlet and allow slack for safe movement.

    • Braided vs. unbraided: braided hoses offer additional durability and abrasion resistance.

    • Restraints and sockets: always install with a compatible socket and restraining chain for safety compliance.

    For more guidance on matching fittings or verifying gas type suitability, contact the BES technical team or consult a professional engineer.

    Installation and Safety Guidance

    All catering hoses should be fitted and tested by a Gas Safe registered engineer in accordance with safety standards.

    Before installation:

    • Check the hose is the correct length and gas type.

    • Inspect connections for damage or contamination.

    • Ensure restraining devices are fitted before connection.

    • Test all joints for leaks using an approved leak detection fluid.

    • Confirm the hose is not kinked, twisted, or under tension once connected.

    Hoses should be inspected regularly for wear, damage or discolouration and replaced immediately if defects are found.

    FAQs

    What types of catering hoses are available?

    BES supplies quick-release and bayonet catering hoses in both braided and unbraided forms, from leading brands such as Dormont® and GASM8.

    What is the difference between braided and unbraided hoses?

    Braided hoses have an external stainless-steel mesh for extra durability, making them ideal for busy commercial kitchens. Unbraided hoses are lighter and more flexible, suited to lower-movement appliances.

    How do I know which hose length I need?

    Measure the distance between the gas outlet and the appliance connection, then add enough slack for safe movement and cleaning. Never install a hose under tension.

    Are Dormont® hoses better than standard catering hoses?

    Dormont® hoses are recognised for their flexibility, robust build and proven long-term reliability in commercial kitchens. BES also offers GASM8 Caterflex® hoses which provide excellent performance and value for trade users.

    Are these hoses suitable for both natural gas and LPG?

    Many are, but always check the product marking as some hoses are certified for natural gas only, while others are rated for both natural gas and LPG use.

    Do I need a restraining chain?

    Yes. All catering appliances connected by flexible hoses must have a restraining chain or device fitted to prevent damage if the appliance is moved.

    How often should catering hoses be replaced?

    Hoses should be inspected annually and replaced at least every five years, or sooner if there are signs of wear, corrosion, or leakage.

    Who should install catering gas hoses?

    All installation and maintenance work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer competent in commercial catering systems.
