Gas bottles Northern Ireland.

 ·  Posted: 10.01.2014  ·  #1

Hi Guys,
Are the gas bottles in Northern Ireland the same as the UK, or are the same as the Irish bottles. We have a Blue Calor Butane Cylinder can we get this exchanged in Northern Ireland or will we have to purchase a whole new gas bottle for Ireland?

Wish they had a universal one.

Our calor bottles are the same north and south

Check out the types available north and south and see if yours is the same.

Ahab has a uk regulator with a male thread, he then has a socket (female thread both ends uk to irl) which when screwed onto the Irish bottle (male thread) leaves you with a female thread to connect the uk male thread to,

Hope this makes sense,

Ahab I hope I have all this correct, but open to correction,

You can get all kinds of adaptor snow for cylinders but some of them can be quite expensive. I've seen them at the show at the NEC

Yeah Digger I've already told FC it's Ally's fault as he hasn't sorted out the speller on the forum. Just drop the s off and what do you get? NOW!
