These cylinders are supplied in standard red or in green leisure gas cylinders.
Standard Red:
A variety of pressure regulators or hose assemblies can be connected to the cylinder valve, but the regulator connection is the same – UK POL 5/8” LH male. First, ensure the POL thread is clean and undamaged and then offer up to the cylinder valve.
The connection is left hand to tighten, right hand to disconnect. Care should be taken to select the correct direction! A spanner will be required to ensure gas soundness is achieved by the final firm ‘nip’ to tighten onto the valve thread. It is advisable to perform a leak test with a simple soap solution. If bubbles form around the valve, consider tightening the nut further but not with excessive force.
If bubbles continue to form, it would be advisable to replace the regulator as permanent damage will have been caused to the POL. Once the regulator has been connected the cylinder valve can be turned on.
Green Leisure:
The connection or disconnection of the regulator for this cylinder is the same as for butane cylinders. The only difference is the cylinder valve size which in this instance is 27mm.
Ensure the cylinder valve is closed. A spanner is required to unscrew and disconnect the regulator. Position the spanner over the brass hexagon nut and then turn clockwise/right hand to loosen and remove the regulator.
Most appliances will have a regulator fitted during production and therefore the need to select the correct regulator will be unnecessary. However, where an appliance has, for some reason no regulator fitted, care and caution is required to replace the original with the correct substitute.
Please note that it may be extremely dangerous to operate an appliance on the wrong regulator. A low pressure appliance for example fitted with a high pressure regulator could have serious consequences, either risk of fire and or injury. An appliance which should be operated with a high pressure regulator but has been fitted with low pressure control will not burn efficiently and will produce the results of incomplete combustion – carbon monoxide – hence a serious health and safety hazard.
It is therefore important to inspect the data badge which should be present on all gas appliances in order to determine the correct pressure required for the appliance and its power rating in BTUs or kWs. Once this has been established we will be in a position to advise what regulator is appropriate and safe to use.
