What color are fuel gas hoses usually?

Blue
Green
Red
Black

The correct answer is: Red

Fuel gas hoses are typically identified by their color-coding, which helps prevent confusion with other types of hoses in a welding or cutting environment. The standard color for fuel gas hoses is red. This color recognition is essential for safety, ensuring that personnel can easily differentiate between oxygen hoses (usually green) and fuel gas hoses when setting up equipment for gas welding or cutting. Using the correct gas hose is crucial to avoid accidents that can occur from mixing different gases or using the wrong hoses for their intended applications. The other colors may represent different types of hoses, such as green for oxygen or possibly other color codes for various industrial gases, but red is distinctly associated with fuel gases. This uniform color-coding across the industry enhances safety and efficiency in welding operations.
