How To Connect A Propane Gas Bottle
- Firstly, check that the valve hand wheel situated at the top of the cylinder is off by turning it clockwise.
- Remove the protective plug from the cylinder and leave it hanging (to replace later – turn clockwise to remove this (left-hand thread)).
- Check the bullnose connection on the regulator for any damage before connecting.
- Screw the thread into the cylinder but remember the thread is left-hand so turn anti-clockwise to screw in.
- Make sure the connection is tight by using a suitable spanner.
- When you need gas, turn the valve hand wheel anti-clockwise to open and clockwise to close.
IMPORTANT: This type of gas bottle has a female valve connection. Check that the connection is clean and undamaged. Always use the correct size spanner and fully tighten.
