SIEVERT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SIEVERT from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Sievert 1504IS and 3015-04 hose assemblies?
Both are 4 ft liquid propane hose assemblies with a 1/4 in inside diameter, black cover, and FLH x FLH fittings. The 1504IS and 3015-04 are separate manufacturer part numbers for hoses in the same length and connection class. When ordering, confirm the part number against your existing torch or regulator documentation. The functional specification — 4 ft length, 1/4 in ID, FLH x FLH — is the same, so either can serve the same connection role where that length is required.
What does FLH x FLH mean on a Sievert propane hose?
FLH stands for female flare. A hose listed as FLH x FLH has a female flare fitting on both ends. This is a common connection type for propane torches and regulators, where the mating part has a male flare fitting. The flare interface creates a metal-to-metal seal when tightened, which is typical for fuel gas connections in this class. Confirm the thread size and flare angle of your torch and regulator before ordering, since FLH fittings are specified by both thread and flare dimensions.
What lengths are available in the Sievert liquid propane hose assembly range?
The Sievert hose assemblies supplied by 3G Electric include 4 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft, 25 ft, 30 ft, and 33 ft lengths. All share a 1/4 in inside diameter, black cover, and FLH x FLH fittings. The 4 ft versions are suited to bench or close work. The 10 ft and 12 ft lengths cover general service work. The 25 ft, 30 ft, and 33 ft lengths allow the propane cylinder to remain outside a work area or at a distance from the torch. Select length based on where the cylinder will be positioned relative to the work.
Can Sievert hose assemblies be used for gas cutting as well as heating and soldering?
Yes. The Sievert hose assemblies in this range are specified for liquid propane heating, soldering, brazing, and gas-cutting applications. The 1/4 in inside diameter and FLH x FLH fittings are consistent across the lengths listed. Gas cutting with propane requires a suitable torch and oxygen supply, but the fuel hose itself is rated for the application category. Confirm that your torch and regulator are compatible with the hose fittings and that the working pressure of your setup is within the hose's intended service range.
How do I choose between the 25 ft, 30 ft, and 33 ft Sievert hose assemblies?
The difference is length: 25 ft (1525IS), 30 ft (1530IS), and 33 ft (1533IS). All have a 1/4 in inside diameter, black cover, and FLH x FLH fittings. Choose based on the distance from the propane cylinder to the torch and the routing path. Longer hoses allow the cylinder to be placed further from the work, which may be required by site rules or by the need to keep the cylinder upright and outside a confined area. Account for routing around obstacles when estimating required length.
What is the inside diameter of Sievert liquid propane hose assemblies?
The Sievert hose assemblies listed by 3G Electric have a 1/4 in inside diameter. This is consistent across the 4 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft, 25 ft, 30 ft, and 33 ft lengths. The inside diameter affects flow capacity and pressure drop over the length of the hose. For the torch sizes typically used with these hoses, 1/4 in ID is a standard size. If your application requires a different flow rate or a longer run, confirm that the pressure at the torch remains adequate for the intended heating, soldering, brazing, or cutting task.
