Just given up on Calor. Is there a regulator for camping gaz that doesent involve spinning the bottle round.
 
Yes, just get one of these adapters from WHayward... and connect it back to your existing Whayward marine bulkhead mounted butane/propane regulator with an M20 -M20 high pressure hose..

The silver bit turns to attach the adapter to the cylinder. The black central knob turns the gas on and off.

and you'll end up with something like this..

That looks a great solution except I had a Hayward marine regulator mounted on the bottle (and fitted by a professional gas engineer) and it leaked constantly
 
There used to be available (or did I imagine it?) a spinning base that sat between a Gaz cylinder base and the bottom of your gas locker. It enabled the cylinder to be easily spun whilst holding the regulator still. Anyone else seen these?
 
I have fittings on my Camping Gas bottles - small type - that avoid the need to 'spin the bottle'.

I'd be keen to know what these are called, as I want to obtain spares in case of failure.

There is a threaded fitting that screws onto the bottle, then a (different make) regulator that clamps onto to the first fitting. The regulator has a small lever on the side with 3 settings at 90 degree intervals (a) fitting clamped on, gas on; (b) fitting clamped on, gas off; (c) clamp released.

Yes.
The 4010 adapter has a RH M20 thread . A Calor butane regulator has a LH thread to fit the thread on a (small) Calor butane cylinder.

You can get a CG cylinder adapter with a LH thread, to take the butane regulator, from BES

I had those parts already. Works OK thanks for the ideas. I'm just leaving the valves on the camping gaz and treating it like a calor. Seems a bit fragile though. I'll see how a trial goes.

A bulkhead mounted regulator and a HP "pigtail" hose between it and the CG cylinder would be a better bit of engineering.

If the regulator was a marine "dual fuel " one it would give you the option to easily adapt to a propane cylinder if desired.

FWIW I have a regulator mounted directly on a CG cylinder and an LP hose connecting it to the copper pipework leaving the locker ( Fulham hose nozzles at each end ) with a hose clip at the regulator end which can be undone / retightened without tools. That way I disconnect the hose from the regulator, lift the cylinder from the locker and unscrew the regulator without this ridiculous "spinning the bottle" nonsense .

Not sure having a hose with high pressure gas in it and several extra joints is better engineering.
 
Premier Camping are selling empty 907 cylinders for £25 which seems a good price if anyone is changing over.
 
Just wondering what is in a new empty cylinder. Air or low pressure butane? Precautions? Just remembering the biscuit tin stochiometric demo in chemistry.
