Is there a connector on the market that features and easy to use, quick release system? I have connectors for my Gaz and Calor bottles and they are both designed to screw in. If you need to remove the bottle from, say, the cooker, it involves much finnicky stuff if you don't want the hassle of removing the hose every time.

If there isn't one - why not? Anyone fancy designing one? Go on - Innovations Catalogue here we come!

But you still have the fiddle of removing the hose and I feel that the more you mess with the hose, the quicker it will deteriorate. I tend to leave the connector attached to the cooker hose and remove the bottle for travelling, storing and changing.

Hi Madelinew

Im not quiet sure what you are saying, I never remove the hose I have a hose and regulator on each of my cooker, and fridge and a seperate bottle for each If one bottle runs out i can pinch the bottle of the other as a tempory move and i just unscrew the bottle and screw it on the other regulator. I some times run the fridge on EHU but I always leave the hose and regulator attached. Uve been using the hose on my cooker for 6 years and its fine.


Hope this helps

I do leave the regulator on the hose but it's hard work to screw a heavy bottle on single-handed if you need to change it or remove it. I never store anything attached to the bottle. I just wondered if there was a different regulator attachment that made this process easier.

Hi Madalinew

My gas bottle isn't that big so not so heavy, I sort of sit in a chair put the bottle on my knee hold on to the regulator with my left hand then sort of pull/spin the bottle towards me with the free hand quickley and it screws in great or put the bottle on its side on the floor and do the above, bit hard to discribe I just do it with out thinking so Im trying to remember but it was 6 week ago.

What bottles have you got, Ive got the camping gas ones, one's a meadium size and the others a small one with screw in top that has a little handle on for you to carry them.

I have a similar situation. I have a TT with a cooker unit and wanted to also have a fridge attached. I wanted to keep the fridge on all night, but didn't trust the "turn off switch" on the cooker unit, so I have bought 2 x taps, that fit from the main connector, so I can isolate each piece of equipment, then I don't have to keep disconnecting, and I use 1 x 15kg gas botle as  so;- 

                                                               gas

                                                                   1

                                 fridge------------tap _____1______tap----------cooker

 

a bit ugly looking, but works well, go to a calar gas shop. the taps are about £5.00 each

I have a push fit connector on my patio heater using a 13kg butane blue bottle.

Today I exhanged my 13kg or 15kg (can't remember exact size) propane red screw fit bottle for a a 13kg push fit green bottle. This is to use on the cooker of a trailer tent.

If you are using a blue bottle this requires using a screw thread but on orange ones you can get the quick release that you find on portable heaters. Just change colour and get a different regulator with quick release.
