Has anyone on here used the Altop gas bottles supplied by Air Liquide/Energas?

 

Just want to know where I can get the push fit connector for the gas hose, thanks

Hiya Daz, I emailed em using my old talktalk email address, but talktalk is down, so can't access my emails. Looks to me to be a push fit hose connector, but don't know what size or type to buy. I'll phone em tomorrow, Jim

Doesn't look like any air fittings I have used, the front nose looks much longer. I have used pcl standard and high flow fittings

Might unscrew it and fit a different one. How safe would that be?

If it unscrews can you not just fit a hose direct to the gauge or possibly even a flow gauge for accurate setting up

That piece will unscrew, but awkward to get to with a spanner, need a deep socket. Plenty of others available online. think I'll phone em Monday to ask what make it is

It is not the same s a regular air line, it has a much longer nose on it.  You will get a free replacement when you get your bottle filled, if not you can always get a replacement from their online shop.
