LIQUEFIED Petroleum Gas (LPG), was first discovered and successfully produced by Dr Walter 0. Snelling, an American chemist in 1910, as a natural by-product evaporating from gasoline.
Today, this wild evaporation has transformed itself from a mere industrial waste to become an indispensable item in our daily life in many parts of the world. It has been widely used in our kitchen as a valuable cooking fuel, replacing other conventional fuels such as firewood and charcoals, which could emit health hazardous substances while burning.
Apart from its economical values, LPG also has other environmental merits. It is the cleanest and most eco-friendly energy fuel, emitting less greenhouse gas and particles compared with other sources of energy such as electricity, diesel, charcoal and firewood.
However, cooking with LPG comes with risks and hazards too, According to statistics, a high percentage of domestic fire accidents are caused by leakages in LPG and more than 50% of these LPG-related accidents can actually be avoided.
They are mainly due to users’ improper cooking habits, such as leaving the stove unattended or defects in the LPG accessories. Khind-Mistral (M)Sdn Bhd, a reputable and innovative marketing house of quality electrical home appliances in Malaysia, recently embarked on a new business initiative to address the above LPG-related safety issue.
While educating consumers on proper cooking habits using LPG appliances, Khind-Mistral has also developed a new LPG safety kit to protect its consumers from LPG leakages. The Triple Safety LPG l(it comprises three components – the LPG safety regulator, the LPC safety hose and the Butterfly safety hose clamp.
This kit connects the LPG cylinder to the cooking appliance, which also functions as a safety control device. The LPG safety regulator comes with a safety device which will automatically cut the LPG supply in times of undesirable gas leakage. This auto cut-off feature is not available with other conventional LPG regulators in the market.
Unlike other conventional single-layered LPG hose, this LPG safety hose is a reinforced double Jayered hose specially designed to reduce the possibility of gas leakage due to prolonged usage or plastic deterioration. You certainly can feel much more relieved now. The Butterfly safety hose clamp is a German invention. It derives its name from its shape, which resembles the wing of a butterfly.
With these butterfly hose clips, tightening the hose connections with the outlet valve on the LPG cylinder and with the inlet pipe on the appliance can be done merely with your fingers.
Conventional hose clips, on the other hand, need to be tightened using a screw driver and are not user-friendly to work with. It is especially so when comes to fixing the hose onto the appliance inlet pipe, which is located at the back and underneath of the appliance.
With this triple safety LPG kit, you can now enjoy your cooking with absolute peace of mind. You will not encounter any more unpleasant or frightening experience in the kitchen, such as a sudden burst of flame due to gas leakage or faulty LPG accessories.
This safety kit is not expensive at all. It is a small investment for peace of mind. It also comes with a one-year warranty. Khind-Mistral(M)Sdn Bhd is the marketing arm of public-listed Khind Holdings Berhad, which exports its electrical products to over 50 countries.
