FAQs
What type of gas cylinders is this spanner designed for?
This spanner is designed for most standard butane and propane gas cylinders, typically those with screw-type valves.
What are the dimensions of the spanner?
The spanner is approximately 170mm in length and the fitting width is approximately 7mm.
Can this spanner be used on all gas types?
It is primarily designed for butane and propane cylinders. Compatibility with other gas types or specialized valves is not guaranteed.
How do I clean and maintain the spanner?
Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
Is this tool suitable for professional gas fitters?
While useful for basic adjustments and quick connections, professional gas fitters may require specialized tools for complex installations or a wider range of valve types.
What should I do if the spanner doesn't fit?
Check if your gas cylinder uses a standard valve screw. If it's a non-standard size or type, this spanner may not be compatible.
Does the length of the spanner provide enough leverage?
The 170mm length generally provides sufficient leverage for most standard adjustments and fastenings on gas cylinders.
Troubleshooting
Spanner does not fit the valve screw.
Verify that you are using a standard butane or propane cylinder. This spanner is designed for common sizes (approx. 7mm width). If the valve screw is non-standard, this tool may not be compatible.
Difficulty turning a stubborn valve.
Ensure the spanner is seated firmly on the screw head. Apply steady, even pressure. If the valve is extremely tight or seized, attempt gentle rocking motions. For persistent issues, professional inspection of the cylinder valve may be necessary.
Spanner slips off the screw.
Confirm the spanner head is the correct size (approx. 7mm) for the valve screw. Ensure the screw head is clean and free from obstructions. Re-seat the spanner firmly onto the screw before applying turning force.
