Swapping from a 4.5kg butane to 7kg?

[paulmitchelltv]

Having some difficulty here and hoping for help.
I didn't do the original install of our hob in the van, but I now need to change the 4.5kg butane for a 7kg.

I know I need to get another regulator for the top of the gas bottle, but I'm struggling with knowing the specifics around the size and if it's possible to get an adapter for the other end of the hose to go straight into the hob. What do I need to do the job?

Thanks in advance

There is a push on 7kg regulator here. You will need to cut the tube to fit a new regulator with a jubilee clip.

If you use the van in winter and you have to change the regulator it may be worth thinking about propane instead.

My previous van came with 7kg butane when I bought it. When it got down to about 5C overnight, the well vented gas cupboard got too chilly and it took a long time to boil the coffee pot in the morning. But the reason I changed was my clip-on butane connector not liking well worn bottles and the supply was intermittent. I switched it to propane with a new tail connector. Check, but most regulators support propane or butane.
