Cylinder connection can be a real area of confusion for customers, which is why we have compiled a guide to help you.

This section of the guide shows you step-by-step how to properly connect 3.9Kg, 6Kg, 13Kg, 19Kg & 47Kg propane cylinders - to your appliance, with details of how to remove and replace regulators.

Follow the steps below, taking special note of the safety warnings.

1. Check that the valve handwheel is off by turning clockwise.

2. Remove protective plug and leave hanging to replace later.

3. Inspect the bullnose connection on the regulator for damage before connecting.

4. Note that a propane cylinder connection must be tight.

5. When gas is required, turn the valve handwheel.

1. Turn the valve handwheel off (clockwise rotation).

2. Except for multi-cylinder installations with a changeover valve, turn off the gas tap if fitted to the appliance. Wait until the burner and pilot lights have gone out. For installations with a change-over valve, it is only necessary to turn off the empty cylinder.

3. Never remove the regulator (or connecting nut) with the cylinder valve open.

4. Remove the regulator (or connecting nut – left hand thread) with the spanner.

5. Replace protective plug into valve outlet.

IMPORTANT

These cylinders have a female valve connection. Check the connection is clean and undamaged. Always use the correct size spanner and fully tighten.
