Butane Gas Regulator with 21 mm Threaded End Compatible with Calor 7 and 15 kg Bottles

Product Information

Gas hoses have a date printed on them and should be replaced if more than five years after manufacture.

The regulator fits the top of your gas bottle and controls gas release from the cylinder to your camping stove. You connect a gas hose between the regulator and your stove.From freecycle I have been given a 13kg butane gas bottle ( not Calor ), and from the weight ( swing feel ) of it it would seem to be nearly full.

If bbq instructions tell you to use propane, then that’s what you need to use and the supplied hose and regulator will fit a propane bottle Both Butane and Propanegas bottles and different brands (such as Campingaz) all have different fittings for their gas cylinders. You must get the correct fitting.Once you have chosen a gas cylinder for camping, you must select the appropriate regulator. This guide helps you find the correct regulator and hose. Now we only BBQ at home in warmer weather so a butane bottle for the BBQ would be just fine. Especially as the gas was free. Then you need a Butane regulator not a Propane and this is the common gas for "clip-on" coupled regulators in the UK.

Remember, if you have a camping kitchen table with a built-in windshield for stoves, which I recommend, these are higher than regular camping tables, so you'll want a longer hose for your gas cylinder. If the washing-up liquid bubbles when the regulator is open, your clips aren’t secure enough, and you have a gas leak. You can get the proper liquid to test for leaks, such as Calor's biodegradable gas leak detector. The Gas Spanner There are a number of questions that always come up when searching for a gas regulator; which regulator for Calor gas, which gas regulator for BBQ, which regulator for propane tank etc. Here at Gas Equipment Direct, our aim is to make it as easy as possible for our customers to find the exact regulator they require.As the 13 kg of gas was free I don't mind buying a regulator as long as I buy the correct one and don't end up buying 2 or 3 to get one to fit correctly. Please note that Propane gas cylinders contain considerably greater pressure than Butane cylinders and as a result, regulators are designed for use with either Propane or Butane and are not interchangeable because of their different design pressures and the different connections on the cylinder itself.
