FAQs
What type of gas is this regulator for?
This regulator is specifically designed for propane gas and features a 27mm fitting, commonly used with cylinders like Calor Patio Gas.
Does it come with everything needed to connect?

How do I check for gas leaks?

What is the length of the included hose?
The hose included with this regulator is 1 meter long.
Is this regulator suitable for indoor use?
No, this regulator and its associated appliances (BBQs, patio heaters, fire pits) are intended for outdoor use only.
How should I store the regulator when not in use?
Store the regulator in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Ensure it is disconnected from the gas cylinder.
Troubleshooting
Gas flow is weak or inconsistent
Check that the gas cylinder valve is fully open. Ensure the regulator is securely attached to the cylinder and the hose is properly connected to the appliance. Inspect the hose for any kinks or blockages.
Cannot connect regulator to gas cylinder
Verify that you are using the correct type of gas cylinder (e.g., Calor Patio Gas) and that the cylinder valve is the standard 27mm type. Ensure there are no obstructions in the regulator's connection point.
Smell of gas after connection
Immediately turn off the gas cylinder valve. Do not operate any appliances or create sparks. Use a soapy water solution to check all connections for leaks. If bubbles appear, tighten the connections or replace the faulty part. If the smell persists, do not use the regulator and contact customer support.
Hose appears cracked or damaged
Do not use the regulator if the hose shows signs of damage. Replace the hose and clips with compatible parts. If unsure, replace the entire regulator unit for safety.
