What is what is a Patio Gas Bottle?

All of our patio gas bottles have a built in Gas Trac indicator so that you are able to easily determine when the gas is low.

When selecting a propane or butane gas bottle, you should consider what type of leisure appliance you're using it for as the two types have slightly differing boiling points. Propane boils at -42degC, while butane reaches at -2degC. Propane is more suitable for outdoor use, whereas butane can also be used indoors in appliances such as portable heaters and one-burner cookers.

The cylinder valve of all our gas bottles are connected to a regulator that controls the pressure at which the liquefied gases release when connected to an appliance. This is crucial because the temperature of the appliance can affect the rate at which gas releases which could cause damage or even a fire. The regulator connects to head of the cylinder by way of a clip on or screw in regulator, which will be dependent on what type of bottle and cylinder you've purchased.

The majority of leisure appliances come with a regulator that reduces the pressure of gas as it travels from the bottle to the appliance. The regulators are connected to the cylinder heads using either a screw or clip connection according to the size and type of bottle (see below for more information). Propane and Butane are both kinds of LPG however they have different boiling points, which means they cannot be interchanged unless you swap the gas regulator on your appliance.

You can also see the date of your cylinder's testing by inspecting one of the side collars that are marked with a letter and two numbers.
