FAQs
Can I use this regulator with propane?
No, this regulator is designed specifically for 28mbar butane systems and is not compatible with propane cylinders.
Which gas cylinders fit this regulator?
It is designed for standard 21mm butane cylinders, including Calor 4.5kg and 7kg, and Flogas 5kg, 7kg, and 13kg bottles.
What does the Excess Flow Valve (EFV) do?
The EFV acts as a safety measure that restricts gas flow by 90% if it detects a significant leak or hose failure, preventing major gas escapes.
Do I need any tools to install this?
No, the clip-on mechanism eliminates the need for spanners or wrenches.
Is the hose length adjustable?
No, the 85cm hose is factory-crimped for safety and cannot be modified or extended by the user.
Troubleshooting
Regulator will not click onto the cylinder
Ensure the cylinder valve is clean and the regulator is correctly aligned at a 90-degree angle to the valve opening before pressing down firmly.
Low gas flow to the appliance
Check the Excess Flow Valve (EFV) has not been triggered by a sudden surge or blockage. Turn off the appliance, disconnect the regulator, and reconnect slowly to reset.
Scent of gas present
Immediately turn off the cylinder valve, extinguish all flames, and inspect all crimped connections and the hose for damage. If damage is found, replace the unit immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the regulator, ensure your gas cylinder is upright and the valve is closed. Align the regulator with the 21mm cylinder valve and press down firmly until you hear a secure click. To ensure longevity, keep the unit clean and dry during storage. Always perform a leak test using soapy water around the connections before lighting any appliance. This unit is compatible with 21mm butane cylinders, such as Calor 4.5kg or 7kg and Flogas 5kg, 7kg, or 13kg bottles. Do not attempt to use this with propane cylinders, as the regulator pressure settings (28mbar) are specifically calibrated for butane systems only.
