What is what is a Patio
gas patio heater sale Bottle?
A patio gas bottle is a type of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylindrical that is designed to be used with outdoor appliances like barbecues and heaters for patios. It is available in green bottles that weigh up to 13kg, and can be compatible with a standard clip-on regulator.
Patio gas is different from propane since it's a kind of LPG that has been reformulated specifically for outdoor use. It's either propane or butane. Both work equally well and can be used to power outdoor appliances such as grills and patio heaters however propane is more in colder temperatures, where butane might struggle.
All of our patio gas bottles feature built-in Gas Trac indicator so that you can quickly tell when the gas is running low. They're also compatible with a large selection of BBQ's and other outdoor heating equipment. If you own a barbecue that only has two or three burners the patio gas bottle of 5kg is ideal. It will last for a long time before it needs to be filled.
If you have or are planning to buy a larger BBQ with four or more burners, we recommend our 13kg patio gas bottle. This bottle isn't just suitable for BBQs, but will also provide you with enough gas to run your patio heater during the long summer evenings.
When you are choosing a propane or butane gas bottle you must consider the type of leisure equipment you're using it with as the two kinds have slightly different boiling points; propane boils at -42degC while butane boils at 2degC. This means that propane is better suited to outdoor use whilst butane is suitable for indoor use for appliances such as portable heaters and single-burner cooking appliances.
The cylinder valves in all our gas bottles is connected to a regulator which controls the pressure at which liquefied gases release when connected to an appliance. This is important as the temperature of an appliance can significantly influence the speed of gas release which can cause fire or damage. The regulator connects to the head of the cylinder by way of the screw or clip in the regulator, and will depend on the type of bottle and cylinder you've purchased.
What is a Patio Gas Cylinder?
It is sometimes confusing to use the term "porch gas" because it could refer to either propane or butane. But it is true that, like the name suggests it is a kind of LPG cylinder that is sold with outdoor appliances like barbecues and patio heaters in mind. As a result, the cylinders have a specific size and type, and should only be used with these types of appliances. They have a special valve and connector that may not fit the standard BBQ gas bottles or other appliances without the conversion kit.
The majority of leisure equipment is fitted with a regulator which reduces the pressure of gas as it moves from the bottle to the appliance. The regulators are connected to the cylinder head with either a clip on or screw depending on the bottle size and the type (see below for more details). Propane and Butane are both kinds of LPG however they have different boiling points, so they are not interchangeable unless you change the gas regulator on your appliance.
All Calor propane and butane gas bottles have an inbuilt Gas Trac indicator that lets you know when it's time to replace your cylinder. You can also see your cylinder's test date by inspecting one of the side collars, which is marked with a letter and two numbers. The letter signifies the quarter in which the test is due. (A for the first and B for the next and so on.) And the number refers the year.
A Patio gas cylinder is a gas bottle with lids that are green and is designed to work with a 27mm clip-on regulator. It can also be used with barbecues using butane and indoor portable heaters and other appliances that work with propane or butane.

The bottles can be used with various regulators that connect the bottle to the patio heater or barbecue.

You'll also find that the majority of small propane gas bottles are fitted with a strap that can be worn over the shoulder to help you carry it and store.
Propane and Butane are usually sold in bottles that appear similar. Butane is stored in blue cylinders, and is best suitable for camping cooking appliances that are single burners and indoor portable heating, while propane is stored in green cylinders and is utilized for outdoor living appliances like barbeques and patio heaters.
Both kinds of gas are available in a broad variety of sizes ranging from 3.9kg up to 47kg. This range includes both "clip on" and "screw in" propane cylinders. The cylinders that are 'clip-on' are attached to the barbecue by pushing them onto the propane regulator. Screw-in propane bottles require screws to be screwed into place.
The price of propane gas depends on the size of the bottle and whether you need to pay an all-in-one cylinder rental fee. If you'd like to avoid paying a fee, it's best that you purchase your propane gas bottle from an establishment that sells both 'clip-on' and'screw-on' propane cylinders. This way, you can choose the type of cylinder that best suits your barbecue heater or patio heater. Many retailers sell both kinds of propane cylinders so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. Comparing prices for propane on the internet is a fantastic method to ensure that you're getting the most affordable deal.
13kg Patio Gas Bottle

Large patio gas bottles are propane gas cylinders. The regulator on the bottle converts liquid propane into gas that can be used in barbecues. The correct regulator must be installed on the BBQ to reach the desired pressure. The regulator should be removed and the gas bottle safely kept in storage when not in use as to protect against gas leaks.
Propane has a lower boiling point than butane, which makes it suitable for outdoor use in cold temperatures. Patio gas bottles are usually green, whilst red propane cylinders have regulators with screw-in screws and come in a variety of sizes ranging from 3.9kg up to 47kg.
A 13kg
gas patio heater pyramid container holds about 26 litres of propane liquid, which can supply hours of grilling time depending on the size and efficiency of the BBQ. Making use of a well-designed BBQ design, checking gas levels regularly, and implementing best practices can greatly extend the life of the gas bottle.
Place your gas bottle outdoors, in a cool and dry place. Storing the gas bottle in a closed space is not recommended as it increases the risk of an explosion or fire. Keep the gas bottle away things that ignite, such as curtains and clothing.
When it's time to replace a gas bottle from the patio ensure that you remove the regulator and clean the valves prior to reattaching them. Empty gas bottles should not be thrown into the regular garbage because of safety and environmental risks. Take your empty gas bottles to a recycling center that accepts them, or contact the manufacturer to inquire about return and commercial collection options.
