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

Product Information

So no point changing existing small bottles free of charge as they won't fit. Will have to shell out for new bottles from another supplier instead. The relevant bit states: For "Cars/campervans/motorhomes/caravans" - "Butane/Propane (maximum of 3 cylinders, the combined weight of which must not exceed 47 kg) for lighting, cooking or heating purposes only."

These means their options are very limited, and realistically the only alternative is the Campingaz 907 which contains 2.72kg of gas. You'll obviously need a new regulator for this, and please note Campingaz gas is (far) more expensive than Calor. As well as 4,5kg butane cylinders, Calor Gas is also discontinuing the Cube, 3.9kg Propane, 6Lite Propane and 12kg Butane cylinders from 1 February 2023. There are different types of regulators for each type of gas cylinder. What gas regulators are needed for camping?

Optional Extras:

Our existing range of cylinders is creating complexity within our supply chain. This means longer change over times and reduced filling capacity on high volume key sizes. That’s why we’ve taken the difficult decision to reduce our cylinder range, simplifying the business,” said a spokesperson for Calor Gas. How do you decant? Just asked OH and he doesn't know/understand. Are we talking ordinary calor or safefill? We are not going to bother with it either. We weren't quite blown out of bed by the Buncefield explosion. It was like an enormous clap of thunder here, just north of Luton

In theory it can be exchanged for a 4.5kg Butane, so I phoned Flo Gas, who were very helpful. They said that at the moment, because of the high demand due to the Calor discontinuations, they could only swap it for another 7kg (although swapping over to the newer 21mm was not a problem) so only an exact size swap is currently possible. 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.

The ferry companies and the Channel Tunnel are making it unlawful to transport any size or type of gas cylinder across the Channel in a car. We may in future have to buy disposable Campingaz cans in French supermarkets when we go car camping in Europe. It's all straightforward stuff, no different to swapping a full for empty cylinder in terms of competency required. This takes a different regulator to the Calor Gas 4.5kg Butane cylinder (a 27mm clip-on regulator). This means that customers won’t be able to buy new cylinders or exchange existing cylinders of these sizes for a refill. Why are these sizes being discontinued?
