The rubber tube of a Bunsen burner carries the gas to the burner from the gas tap on the laboratory bench. The material is rubber to enable flexibility to allow the tube to bend around other equipment on a laboratory bench and generally allow ease of movement of the burner.

If the tubing is not properly secured, gas could leak out from the gas supply rather than going straight to the burner. This will not only reuce the potential of heat created by the burner but allow escaping gas to be a potential source of explosion or fire. In some areas of the world coal gas is still used. This is also poisonous when airbourne.
For the gas to travel in a controlled manner from the gas supply into the bunsen burner and ultimately to the flame.
There is a little metal part just smaller than the tube's circumference near the bottom that it slips over. The other end is attached to the fuel supply.
Something that you connect with a gas tap to produce fire. The possible gases could be Methane(CH4), Hydrogen(H2), Oxygen(O2) and ect ect.
There will be a valve at the bottom of the Bunsen burner. Using a rubber tubing connect the valve to the regulator of the LPG cylinder.
Clay shields are commonly used in pottery to protect objects from direct heat during firing in a kiln. Rubber tubing is often used for connecting pipes and hoses in industrial applications to help prevent leaks and ensure a tight seal.
The gas in a Bunsen burner typically originates from a propane or natural gas source connected to the burner via a tubing system. This gas is then regulated by a control valve on the burner before being mixed with air and ignited to produce a flame for heating or sterilization purposes.
A Bunsen burner typically consists of a base, gas inlet tube, air control collar, barrel, and burner tip. The base is used to stabilize the burner, the gas inlet tube connects to the gas source, the air control collar adjusts the air flow, the barrel houses the flame, and the burner tip is where the gas mixes with air and ignites.
Connect the Bunsen burner to a gas source and adjust the airflow using the control valve. Use a striker or a match to ignite the gas at the burner's base. Adjust the flame by controlling the airflow and gas flow until you achieve the desired heat intensity.
