Hazard
It has been identified that a very small percentage (1.2%) of their SALVUS branded 1 m and 1.25 m angled micropoint gas hoses may have a missing pin from the 3-pin array that holds the male thread swivel section joint on to the gas hose itself. The missing pin represents a risk that continued movement and twisting could cause other pins to fall out. If all pins fall out, the male connector section could detach from the hose section and gas will continue to flow from the hose, presenting a fire hazard.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Gas Appliances (Enforcement) and Miscellaneous Amendments Regulations 2018.
