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. Yes replacement gas has been in short supply during this Covid nightmare, as has many other commodities

Then you need a Butane regulator not a Propane and this is the common gas for "clip-on" coupled regulators in the UK. There are different types of regulators for each type of gas cylinder. What gas regulators are needed for camping?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 other 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. 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.

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.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. Now I've seen there are clip on regulators in 20mm and 21mm fitting for butane, it would be difficult to determine by measurement if one of these were the correct regulator, if indeed either.

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