How to change a calor gas bottle and safety checks

We change a calor gas bottle also checking for tell tale signs of Ware and tear to keep you safe and warm.

[@cheekibreeki4492]

Thank you for this Andy, really. Have power out for a few days and needed to know how to use one of these as I bought one this morning. Instruction manual not worded the best. Legend 🍻

[@nollaigdoughan2831]

Getting the regulator disconnected from the gas bottle can be tricky. Look at the black button described at 1:55 - the button under the on / off valve. When disconnecting the regulator from the bottle you need to press IN this button - it is not very intuitive unless it is explicitly indicated in your heater User Manual. It did my head in for a while also until I discovered it.

[@famoussacamara4030]

[@christianvancara8255]

Mobile gas heaters are fab,they kick out Loads of heat,but we need to open a window slighly.. So much hotter than Lec & nice to have a warm glow.. Thanks for tips 😘

[@karenwarren8993]

Just what I needed. You made it simple. Thank you for sharing

[@lorrainerender6958]

Thankyou so much for showing me how to change a gas bottle safe, as now one else I asked would show me.

[@TC-uq1rc]

Good video. I couldn't get the regulator to attach but didn't realise there was a button to be pressed. Thanks.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Thanks (8 years after you posted!) If you dont change them very often its easy to forget how to get the regulator off !

[@thenattychanneluk]

This is the best video on the internet for this

[@anthonyperkins7556]

You need a 1 metre clear space around the heater to avoid any fire hazard and the front should be well away from furniture curtains and drapes as well as toys, soft furnishings and furniture coverings.

[@maryconnolly8192]

there's good heat in those gas fires, as good as a stove, warm in minutes.

[@1730deb]

very clear and helpful thanks !

[@160619891000]

I like the way you protect the carpet by fitting carpet offcuts under the wheels but walk with the shoes on on top of the carpet at the same time :)🤪

[@gussypegs]

Cheers mate ,

[@anthonyperkins7556]

Mobile gas heaters should be inspected and serviced every 12 months at a Calor Centre for safety performance and good heating output.

[@salmanokeke4844]

Very useful.

[@suzannegamble9348]

Is the top bit supposed to move around abit when putting it into the heater?

[@susanaf.blanco5694]

Thank you! I like the cat! Hahaha

[@redninja4631]

Cat approves 👍🏼👍🏼

[@christianvancara8255]

[@DerbJd]

I watched this for disconecting. And you didn't.

[@lyndamorris6853]

Me too

[@chrispersiva4828]

Me too

[@Tammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

Did you find out how to disconnect ? having problems getting mine off

[@toxicbrum3081]

Lol so basically there is no point me watching this then.... thanks for the heads up

[@Tammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

Yup lol, push little black plastic button in to take regulator off, took abit of force to get mine off

[@sophia8482]

Thank you for this video! I just bought a calor gar but the regulator has a rattling as though there is a loose part inside. I'm wondering if that is okay; the connections seems secure though.

[@scottjock]

I can't get mine uncoupled. No black button under the coupling on mine

[@kaczkinson]

on and off positions are marked on regulators, but there's no info how to take regulators off. some regulators got only this "on-off" lever, without the release button. to take them off you have to push this lever in.

[@cgs1949]

Anthony, This video does not show how to change a bottle. Only how to put a particular regulator on to a bottle., you do not show how to take it off. Mine does not have a button, are there other types of releases. Many thanks

[@skiiddy]

The gas regulator toggle can double as the button too. Try closing the regulator then pushing it in towards the gas bottle. We have two heaters and one of the regulators works that way.

[@zincfinger3817]

Fancy telling us how to take the fxxking empty one out!

[@JEKAZOL]

The valve switch is also a button that you press in, and it will click out with ease. No twisting required.

[@davidbarton215]

I have a new gas heater ,trouble is once the bottles 1/4 empty i cant seen to get my fire to stay on . Any advice ?.

[@Tambie001]

I really wanted to see how you press yr buttons..and when to turn them to what position , l can smell the gas but after turn the nobs nothing came out..everything is new..

[@icooper5236]

Much easier to fit it up before you put the bottle in the heater🙄

[@DianeMansley]

Want to know how to change a empty calor gas bottle from a calor heater

[@patprr1756]

How do you take it off again , press that button again I suppose .

[@bradcarling8836]

To take it off push in the black pin hard and pull it off

[@justjoanie8068]

Can't see a thing. Maybe if you take the paper tag off and showed us what the connector looks like.

[@shaunmoran1228]

Do you need to open a window for the carbon monoxide?

[@kaczkinson]

it must be a good ventilation. you need oxygen for living, heater needs oxygen for burning. plus - buy a CO sensor/alarm. it is not expensive but can save life

[@anthonyperkins7556]

I don't, just regularly keep your heater serviced once a year by an LPG qualified Gas Safe engineer or Calor Gas main dealer or caravan dealer who services LPG appliances, and leave an inside door open for ventilation purposes i.e. a kitchen or conservatory door, that's all I do, no need for a carbon monoxide alarm at all. You should also check the flame colour and quality of burning regularly too and take action if you see a yellow tipped blue flame or completely yellow flame with soot, this indicates the burners and/or pilot light could be clogged with dirt and dust not allowing any airflow to burn cleanly.

[@nickcourtis7874]

which direction is off? At beginning of video (0.26 sec) regulator switch is turned to face upwards to turn gas OFF but later (3.40) switch is turned upwards to turn gas ON. Which is correct?

[@kaczkinson]

it is marked on regulator, just look at it. horizontal is off, vertical is on.

[@katjabrakenhoff6977]

Does the gas make sound from bottle to heater? Like a soft hissing sound?

[@sweetooth1967]

Yes it does, its part of the gas conecting nothing to worry about👍

[@katjabrakenhoff6977]

Thank you

[@louisacooper3671]

Thank you. 😊 we now have heat 🔥

[@NanoVisionTv2]

Can I use either the blue or orange gas can? It currently has a blue one but it’s running out however I have a full orange one and was wondering if I could use that one??

[@anthonyperkins7556]

Gaming Vids Sorry, no. Propane (red) or sometimes orange, is contained at a much higher pressure and as such, it must not be used indoors. It could cause a very dangerous situation indeed if propane is used in a domestic mobile gas heater i.e. too high a flame spreading dangerously out of the ceramic plaque burners due to the higher pressure contained and produced. You must use Calor Gas butane at 28mbar or indeed any other brand of butane cylinder i.e such as Flogas Birmingham Auto Gas Rix Countywide West Wales Gas etc using a suitable regulator as specified by the mobile heater manufacturer and fitted to your heater.

[@munsterman1616]

How do you disconnect FFS.

[@rostycosy]

The cap is too tight and I cannot pull it off..

[@InterjectionVideos]

Pull it forward, not upwards

[@anthonyperkins7556]

Pull the cylinder cap lanyard upwards and outwards to remove it from the cylinder valve.

[@msjanetshaw8895]

I need to take my calor gas off am a little nervous lol frightened I may blow myself up 😂

[@darraghgregory1269]

I have one and I'm not sure how to make sure the gas is off , I don't want to leave it incase I get poisoning

[@sweetooth1967]

Just turn off the portable gas knob on the top till the flame dies out sometimes it sputers but thats normal theres no need to worry unless there's a faulty gas hose in the back but you can get it checked out normally free when you buy your gas get the lads to check your portable gas heater no worries👍🔥

[@darraghgregory1269]

@@sweetooth1967 thanks a million Anthony your a star 🌟

[@garethburgess2118]

I wanna take the regulator off and can't it's the same regulator as in video is doing my head in I have 15 of these on site and we can't get the regulator off

[@nollaigdoughan2831]

Hope you resolved it eventually. See my comment above.

[@coling7819]
