A 1" x 60" Gas Hose Kit
Want a gas hose with shut off valve and quick disconnect in one box? This kit has both, plus a 60" hose.
The 1" hose is the high-capacity diameter in Kit #3. BK rates the BKG-GHC-10060-SCK3 at 344,000 BTU per hour, which is 176,000 more than the 3/4" x 60" (168,000) at the same length. Connecting Atosa gas equipment? It takes a 3/4" connection, so switch to the BKG-GHC-7560-SCK3 instead.
The 60" is rated 24,000 BTU per hour below the 48" and 5,000 above the 72". Pick it when the 48" falls short of the gas outlet but you don't need the full 72".

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 344,000 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 60" won't reach without stretching or sharp bends, the 72" kit is next. If 60" leaves hose lying on the floor, look at the 48".
