Blow-torch gas canisters. Still screw-on?

Bendy_House

As title - need to get some butane canisters, but the images I see look a bit different to my old ones - the new have what appears to be a large collar around the nozzle. Do they clip on, or are they still screw-on?!

Thanks

The ones on Toolstation web-site are clearly screw on if you zoom in on the photos.

I shall zoom
Thanks.

On line images might include a protective cap? Perhaps.

As Grizzlebeard mentioned most gas canisters will be supplied with a protective cap that you remove before fitting. I haven't used butane recently but I did get a propane gas canister a month or so ago from Screwfix to do some plumbing and that was screw on.

Thanks all. It wasn't the cap that threw me, but what appears to be a wide round collar with a gap in one side that appears to have a 'purpose'!
Cheers.

There are 2 different types

Screw fit, used by diy tools & some camping stoves

Then there are the ones with the "wide round collar with a gap in one side" that use a spigot & a lever clamp system for some camping stoves & BBQs

EN417 connector (what you want - unless you've got some obscure blow torch)



CP250 - what you don't want

Ah! Many thanks Andy - that's the beast!

Rats, all the cheaper canisters are the 'clamp' type. Pfffft.

Cheers.
