The 5kg patio gas bottles are perfect for those who wish to stay warm in the evenings, no matter if they're planning on an outdoor BBQ or an outdoor meal. What is a Patio Gas Bottle? A patio gas bottle is a kind of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) container that is specially designed for use with outdoor appliances, such as barbecues and heaters for the patio. It is available in green bottles weighing up to 13kg and can be compatible with a standard regulator clip-on. Patio gas is distinct from propane because it's a brand of LPG that has been modified specifically for outdoor use. It's available as butane or propane. Both are equally efficient and can be used for outdoor appliances like barbecues and patio heaters. However propane is more suitable for colder temperatures. All of our patio gas bottles have built-in Gas Trac indicator so that you can quickly tell when the gas is running low, and are also compatible with a large selection of BBQ's and other outdoor heating devices. If you have a BBQ that has only two or one burner and you want to use our gas patio bottle of 5kg is ideal. It will last for a long time before it needs to be filled.

This bottle is not only suitable for barbecues, but will also provide you with enough gas to run your heater for your patio during the long summer evenings. When selecting a propane or butane gas bottle you should consider what type of leisure equipment you're using it with as the two types have slightly different boiling points. Propane is able to boil at -42degC while butane boils at 2degC. This means that propane is better for outdoor use, whereas butane is a good choice for appliances such as portable heaters and single-burner cooking appliances. The cylinder valve on each of our gas bottles is connected to a regulator which controls the pressure that the gas is released when connected to an appliance. This is crucial as the temperature of the appliance can significantly affect the rate of gas release which can cause fire or damage. The regulator connects to the head of the cylinder by way of either a screw or clip in the regulator, and will be dependent on what kind of bottle and cylinder you've purchased. What is a Patio Gas Cylinder? It can be confusing to use the term “porch gas” because it could refer to either propane or butane. Patio gas is a distinct type of LPG that is used for outdoor use, such as barbecues and heating sources for patios. Therefore, the cylinders are a specific size and type and should only be used with these kinds of appliances. They may not fit standard BBQ bottles or other appliances unless a conversion kit is purchased. Most leisure appliances are fitted with a regulator, which lowers the pressure of the gas as it travels from the bottle to the appliance. The regulators connect to the cylinder head by either a clip or screw in connection depending on the size of the bottle and type (see below for more information). Propane and butane are both types of LPG, but they have different boiling points, which means they are not interchangeable unless you also switch the gas regulators on your appliance. All Calor propane and butane gas bottles come with an integrated Gas Trac indicator that lets you know when it's time to replace your cylinder. The date you test the cylinder can be located on the side collars. It's stamped with two numbers and a letter. The letter is a reference to the quarter that the test is due. (A for the first, B for the second and so on.) The number refers the year. A Patio gas cylinder is a gas bottle with lids that are green and is designed to be used with a 27mm clip-on regulator.
