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

Product Information

It ought to be easy enough to measure the bottles spigot diameter; clearly the difference between 20/21mm to 27 is obvious but with care you should be able to identify the 20 from the 21. 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. 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. Sometimes the hose on regulator kits may be a bit on the short side (we found this with the Campingaz Regulator Kit), so you may want to buy a longer hose.

All our regulators are colour coded to match the corresponding cylinder colours. Our butane regulators are blue in colour to match butane gas cylinders and our propane regulators are red in colour to match the red propane gas cylinders. 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. Then you need a Butane regulator not a Propane and this is the common gas for "clip-on" coupled regulators in the UK. Yes replacement gas has been in short supply during this Covid nightmare, as has many other commodities 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.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. There are different types of regulators for each type of gas cylinder. What gas regulators are needed for camping? 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. Unfortunately, you'll typically find that new gas hoses are very stiff and are difficult to push onto the fitting.

There’s always empty gas bottles either being given away or sold cheap (fiver) on local selling groups online / Facebook You can’t mix and match propane and butane bottles and regulators - as you’ve found out, 2 different systems and one won’t fit the otherGas hoses have a date printed on them and should be replaced if more than five years after manufacture. If the washing-up liquid bubbles when the regulator is open, your clips aren’t secure enough, and you have a gas leak.

The regulators for the above cylinders (Calor Butane, Calor Propane, and Campingaz) require an 8mm gas hose. 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
