Hi anyone fitted a bullfinch bbq point to a panel van/vw?
Got access to 8mm gas pipe from hob
so assume I can ‘T’ off that down to Bullfinch connection but would like the use flexible hose if possible. As I’ve changed from camping gaz 907 bottle to propane 3,9 kg bottle so it would save me carrying a bottle to run cadac.
 
It’s not good practice to plumb via a rubber hose, it should be done in copper pipe, and rubber hose should be used for external use where it can be monitored.
 
Why use rubber hose... do the job properly and safely with copper pipe. Position bbq point in a position to make pipework easier to fit fitting !!
Incidently how would you make connections to original pipework and Bullfinch...you would need to use push on hose adapters and jubilee clips...... more joins more chance of leaks.
 
When fitted mine I tee’d into cooker fed and also fitted a gas tap in the line.
I used copper pipe.
 
I also got my bbq point fitted using proper piping. I fitted mine to a Hymer 655 starline
as I have a refillable gas bottles

I fitted one 2 weeks ago simple t piece and a bit of 8 mm copper and a gas test job done👍
 
T piece off fridge feed....been in situ for 8 years.....
 
Got choice of T piece off hob feed or I have spare isolation valve that was used for the grill that is no longer there.
I’m going to see what is available at work tomorrow regards 8mm pipe and fixings, years ago we use to have a pipe bending/coiling department.
The only reason I mentioned flexible pipe was there was a 1m kit from Germany that is for LPG .
Thanks for usual quick response.
