The Dormont RDC48 Restraining Device is an essential safety component for commercial kitchens, designed to limit strain on gas hoses used with cooking equipment. The ANSI Z21.69 standard mandates that all gas connectors used on caster-mounted or fixed-leg equipment must include a restraining device to prevent excessive movement during cleaning or service.

This device is one foot shorter than the gas hose to effectively restrict movement, preventing unnecessary stress on the gas connection. The plastic-coated end fittings allow for easy cleaning, helping maintain kitchen sanitation. Mounting hardware is included, ensuring a secure and reliable installation.

The Dormont RDC48 Restraining Device is a vital safety accessory designed to enhance the security, durability, and compliance of gas connectors used with commercial kitchen equipment. This restraining device is specifically engineered for 48-inch gas connectors, ensuring that gas hoses remain properly secured while still allowing for necessary movement when equipment is repositioned for cleaning or maintenance. By limiting the strain placed on the gas connector, this device helps prevent damage, reduce the risk of leaks, and extend the lifespan of both the connector and the equipment it serves.

In commercial kitchens, cooking equipment is often mounted on casters or fixed legs, making it easy to shift for cleaning or repairs. However, excessive movement of these appliances can put undue stress on the gas connector, increasing the chances of wear, disconnection, or rupture. To mitigate this risk, industry regulations require that gas connectors used with mobile or semi-permanent equipment be installed with a restraining device. The Dormont RDC48 complies with ANSI Z21.69 standards, which mandate the use of a restraint system to prevent hazardous stretching or bending of the gas hose. These regulations help maintain a safe working environment, ensuring that gas connections remain secure and function reliably over time.

The Dormont RDC48 is one foot shorter than the gas connector to provide an ideal balance of flexibility and restriction. This design ensures that the hose can move as needed without being overextended, helping to prevent accidental disconnections or undue strain on fittings. The included mounting hardware makes installation quick and easy, allowing kitchen staff or service professionals to securely fasten the restraint in place without requiring additional tools or modifications.

Beyond safety and compliance, this device is also designed for easy maintenance and long-term durability. The plastic coating on the end fittings not only protects against wear but also makes it easier to clean, preventing grease and grime buildup that could compromise the performance of the restraint over time. With its robust construction, ease of installation, and industry-standard compliance, the Dormont RDC48 Restraining Device is an essential addition to any commercial kitchen using 48-inch gas connectors. It provides peace of mind for operators, reduces maintenance costs, and upholds the highest safety standards, ensuring that gas-powered equipment operates smoothly and securely for years to come.
