Learn how to connect your Gozney Arc Lite to a propane tank with the correct gas hose and regulator, plus the safety checks that prevent leaks and poor performance.

Quick answer

Connect the Arc Lite Gas Hose and Regulator to a standard US propane tank using the 30mbar screw-fit adaptor, then leak-test every joint with soapy water before you light the oven. This hose is made for Arc Lite only and will not fit other Gozney ovens. If your original hose is lost or damaged, replace it with the correct Arc Lite part rather than a generic hose.

Why the Arc Lite needs its own hose and regulator

The Arc Lite Gas Hose and Regulator is a matched assembly: a 30mbar regulator with a screw-fit adaptor for a standard US propane tank, and a hose sized for the Arc Lite. Gas appliances rely on the regulator holding a steady outlet pressure, so swapping in a regulator with a different rating or a hose with different fittings can change how the burner performs and may create a connection that is not gas-tight. Because the Arc Lite hose is specific to that oven, it cannot be used with other Gozney ovens, and other Gozney hoses are not a substitute for it.

Your Arc Lite already ships with this hose and regulator as standard. You only need to buy a replacement if the original is lost or damaged, or if you want a spare kept on hand. Before ordering, confirm the part matches your oven model and your tank type, since the screw-fit adaptor is intended for a standard US propane tank.

What to check before you start

Work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, away from open flames, and keep the propane tank upright. Have a spray bottle of soapy water and a clean rag ready for leak testing. Inspect the hose along its full length for cracks, cuts, or stiffness, and look at the regulator body and the screw-fit adaptor for cross-threading or debris. If any part looks damaged, stop and replace it rather than trying to seal it with tape.

Also check the condition of the oven's gas inlet connection. A clean, undamaged inlet lets the hose adaptor seat properly. If you are unsure whether a hose is the correct part for your oven, check the product listing or contact Gozney support before connecting anything.

Step-by-step Arc Lite gas connection

Confirm the hose is the Arc Lite part: Check that the hose and regulator you are using is the Arc Lite Gas Hose and Regulator with the 30mbar screw-fit adaptor. It is designed for Arc Lite only and will not work with other Gozney ovens. Common mistake: assuming a hose from another Gozney oven will fit. If the part is not marked for Arc Lite, do not connect it.
Attach the regulator to the propane tank: With the tank valve closed, thread the screw-fit adaptor onto the tank valve by hand until it is snug, keeping the threads aligned so they do not cross-thread. Do not use tools to over-tighten. Checkpoint: the adaptor should turn smoothly by hand. If it binds, back it off and restart the thread.
Connect the hose to the oven inlet: Route the hose without kinks, sharp bends, or contact with hot surfaces, then connect the oven end and tighten it by hand until it seats. Keep the hose away from the oven body and any path where it could be stepped on. Common mistake: leaving a loop of hose touching the oven or trapping it under the tank, which can damage the hose over time.
Leak-test every joint with soapy water: Open the tank valve slowly, then spray soapy water on the tank adaptor, the regulator, and the oven connection. Watch for growing bubbles, which indicate a leak. If you see bubbles, close the tank valve, re-seat the joint, and test again. Never light the oven while a leak is present.
Light the oven and check the flame: Following the Arc Lite lighting instructions, ignite the burner and look at the flame. A steady flame with a stable shape suggests the regulator and hose are supplying gas correctly. If the flame is weak, uneven, or keeps going out, turn off the tank and recheck the connections and hose condition before trying again.
Shut down and store safely: When you finish cooking, close the propane tank valve first, then let the remaining gas burn off before turning the oven control off. Disconnect the hose if you store the oven and tank separately, and keep the hose protected from sunlight and abrasion. Checkpoint: a hose that is cracked, stiff, or damaged should be replaced with the correct Arc Lite part before your next cook.
