Propane and butane have slightly different boiling points. While butane is a bit warmer than propane, propane is able to boil at about -42degC. Propane is more suited to outdoor use, while butane can also be used indoors in appliances like portable heaters as well as one-burner cookers.

The cylinder valves of all our gas bottles are connected to a regulator that regulates the pressure at which the gas is released when connected to an appliance. This is important because the temperature of the appliance may influence the rate at which gas releases which could lead to fire or damage. The regulator is connected to the cylinder head via the screw or clip in the regulator, which will be dependent on what type of bottle and cylinder that you have purchased.

They might not work with standard BBQ bottles or other appliances unless a conversion kit is purchased.

The majority of leisure equipment is fitted with a regulator, which lowers the pressure of the gas as it travels from the bottle to the appliance. The regulators are connected to the heads of the cylinder using either a screw or clip connection depending on the size and kind of bottle (see below for further information). Propane and Butane are two different types of LPG. However they have a different boiling points, which means you cannot interchange them unless you also alter the gas regulator inside your appliance.

All Calor propane and butane gas bottles come with an integrated Gas Trac indicator that lets you know when it's time for you to replace your cylinder. You can also check the date of your cylinder's testing by inspecting the side collar that are printed with a letter as well as two numbers. The letter indicates the quarter during which the test is due. (A for the first, B for the second and then on.) The number refers the year.
