Hi,

My question is in a similar vein!

I have a Tilley stove that has a small female threaded connector on the hose.

I understand that this type of stove was set up to be connected to a Camping Gaz bottle source.  Because of the prohibitive cost of new bottles and refilling Camping Gaz, I want to be able to run the stove off Calor Gas.  At the moment I have no intention of going abroad so I am not interested in Camping Gaz, neither do I intend camping out in sub-zero so Butane is good enough for me.

Many moons ago, I had an adaptor/valve that would do exactly what I am requesting, but with successive house moves in has been lost.

This adaptor accepted the stove connection on the outlet and the inlet connection screwed directly to the Calor bottle, (with the screw type connection), via a captive nut.  On the top was a black knob which controlled the flow of gas. The whole fitting, apart from the black plastic knob, was, I think, machined/cast from aluminium.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these?

If the stoves are old the hoses probaly need changing anyway, I think I read they should be changed every 4 years? Most caravan dealers change the hoses as a matter of course on every service.
