Changing gas to new connections
Permalink  

Has anyone changed their gas bottle connection to the new LCC27 (Leisure Cylinder Connection 27), for better gas leak protection..

our bottles are six years old, do we keep existing bottles, and have them converted, do I go to swap n go or try out the marine bottles that weigh less.. and yes I have to change the hose connectors.

Sounds like a good idea and makes it easier to get swap and go refills.

I converted mine to the new LCC27 standard x 2.

I use swap'n'go  from Bunnings but have them refilled when travelling, due to refills being cheaper.

Would probably cost you more to have new bottle connections and then fill them than a swap and go. Then you have to find someone that changes them. Go with Dick0.

Thanks guys, do you find the dates on the swap go be within the correct range to refill

 Never had a problem with Swap'n'Go bottles with refills.

Same, But just look for the latest date-stamp, usually quite small, on the cylinder collar.
