I have a Cricket with an oxycon. My propane hose goes to the regulator which attaches to metal pipe through the wall and out to my tank. I have had the same set of hoses for 6 years. I recently did the soap test and found no leaks but worry that maybe I should replace my hoses for safety's sake. Anyone know the life expectancy for a set of hoses? Mine came from a reputable glass dealer with my initial setup. Thanks.
