Gas Hoses & Accessories

Commercial Gas Hoses & Accessories in Toronto & Canada

A commercial gas hose is a flexible, braided stainless steel connector that links a movable gas-fired appliance — a range, griddle, fryer, or char broiler — to a building's fixed gas line, so the unit can be pulled out for cleaning behind or underneath without disconnecting rigid pipe. We carry hoses and complete quick disconnect kits from Phoenix — our own 3/4" hose and matching quick disconnect kit — and Encore, available in 1/2", 3/4", and 1" diameters, each with its own quick disconnect kit. A quick disconnect kit bundles the hose with a quick-disconnect fitting, elbows, a restraining cable, and a full port valve, letting staff safely disconnect equipment in seconds rather than shutting down the whole gas line. You'll need one of these any time you install or replace a movable gas appliance — Canadian gas code requires a listed connector and restraining cable on anything that isn't hard-piped in place — or when an existing hose is cracked, kinked, or past its rated life and needs swapping out. Diameter should match the appliance's gas demand: 1/2" typically suits lighter-BTU equipment, while 3/4" and 1" handle higher-output ranges and griddles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

Do commercial gas appliances need a flexible gas hose?

Yes, for any gas-fired appliance that isn't permanently hard-piped in place. Canadian gas code requires movable equipment — a range, griddle, fryer, or char broiler on casters — to connect through a listed flexible connector with a restraining cable, so the appliance can be pulled out for cleaning without straining or disconnecting the gas supply. Fixed, non-movable equipment can sometimes be hard-piped directly instead, but most commercial cooklines are built on casters specifically so staff can clean behind and underneath them, which makes a code-compliant gas hose a requirement rather than an option.

What size gas hose do I need for my range?

Hose diameter needs to match your appliance's gas demand, not just its physical fitting size. A 1/2" hose is usually enough for lighter-BTU countertop or single-burner equipment. A 3/4" hose is the standard choice for most full-size ranges, griddles, and char broilers. For high-BTU equipment like multi-burner ranges or large griddle batteries, a 1" hose delivers enough gas flow to avoid a pressure drop. If you're unsure, check the appliance's rated BTU input against the hose manufacturer's sizing chart, or contact us and we can help match it.

What's included in a gas quick disconnect kit?

A complete kit, like the Encore Quick Disconnect Kit or the Phoenix Quick Disconnect Kit, bundles everything needed for a code-compliant install in one box: the braided hose itself, a quick-disconnect fitting, two elbows, a restraining cable, and a full port ball valve. That's the whole point of buying a kit instead of a hose alone — it saves a trip back to source the fitting hardware and restraining cable separately, and it means staff can safely disconnect the appliance in seconds for cleaning, then reconnect it with the quick-disconnect fitting instead of re-threading pipe.
