Numpty Propex gas connection question

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by sharpey, Feb 10, 2013.

  1. Just in the final stages of installing my Propex and looking to connect the gas bottle regulator to the unit. The kit only came with a right angled screw thread attachment.

    Am I right in assuming I need a short length of 8mm copper pipe to connect the flexi hose? I had initially assumed the orange flexi would connect direct to the unit with a jubilee clip. :confused:
     
  2. To join the hose to the copper pipe you will need a hose spigot . The hose pushes over that and is then secured with a jubilee clip. Brain now in gear ... the other name for the spigot is a Fulham nozzle available from various caravan/camping outfits. Ribbed tube with a compression nut and nipple on one end.
     
  3. Thanks, would you know the thread size of the fulham nozzle, presumably it's tapered to screw direct into the heater boss?
