which regulator??

[dento29]

Hi all, just got a second hand catalytic heater (riviera) and can't find out what size regulator to use, would it be 21mm for Calor?

oh and the ignition button on the side seems a little stiff, does this matter?
(can it opporate without it..using a lighter, does it affecte the flame faliure divice?) ..hoped someone on here might of had one?


Many thanks........

Oh dear, suggest you ask the seller these questions, and also why it was being sold.
An MCA guideline for fishing vessels with crew staying onboard in port strongly recommends not using catalytic heaters.
I did have one on a boat, many years ago, and think it was lit with a match. However, they have had a dubious press since then. I didn't like it as it gave off a lot of water vapour, making the boat more rather than less humid.
Be very careful.

Your insurers might well insist on installation by a registered Corgi engineer who will certainly not handle a catalytic heater or any other type without an external flue .
