A 1" x 48" Gas Hose Kit
Shopping for a 1 inch gas hose in the middle length? The 48" size sits between the 36" and 60" kits.
The 1" hose is the high-capacity diameter in Kit #3. BK rates the BKG-GHC-10048-SCK3 at 368,000 BTU per hour, which is 184,000 more than the 3/4" x 48" (184,000) at the same length. Connecting Atosa gas equipment? It takes a 3/4" connection, so switch to the BKG-GHC-7548-SCK3 instead.
The 48" is the middle of the five 1" lengths. Compared with the 36" (373,000) it loses 5,000 BTU per hour, and the 60" drops another 24,000 to 344,000.

Installation Notes From BK
- Installation and testing must be done by qualified personnel, following the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54) or CSA B149.1 and local codes.
- The shut-off ball valve goes at the connection from the gas line to the hose, within 6" of the appliance.
- The restraining cable must always be connected while the appliance is in use. BK says leaving it off voids the warranty.
- Follow the gas flow arrows on the quick connect.
- Do not use the quick connect where gas feeds a line of appliances from two places (a dual fed manifold). Use only the shut-off ball valve there.
- No sharp bends, twists or double bends, and the hose must not touch the floor.
- Check the finished assembly for leaks. Never use an open flame to test.
- BK says to use a new hose and hardware for each application, and not to move an installed hose to another location.
Before You Order
- Capacity: BK lists 368,000 BTU per hour for this size with the shut-off valve and quick connect installed. Check it against your appliance's BTU rating.
- BK designs this hose for movable gas equipment.
- Have a qualified gas installer pick the size and do the install.
- Measure from the gas outlet to the appliance's gas inlet. If 48" won't reach without stretching or sharp bends, the 60" kit is next. If 48" leaves hose lying on the floor, look at the 36".
