Gas Tanks
All Maccsteam gas tanks are constructed from 16G (1.6mm) copper with 16G end plates. they are fitted with a phosphor bronze centre stay and colphos bushes. All tanks have 2 blind bushes in the bottom, tapped 4ba for mounting. They are supplied with a gas regulator valve with a pipe nut and nipple suitable for 1/8" diameter pipe. The filler valve is of the standard "Ronson" type and may be filled from a standard cigarette lighter refill, or from one of the popular gas blowlamp cartridges fitted with a suitable adaptor.
PLEASE NOTE: These tanks are for use with BUTANE or BUTANE/PROPANE mixes up to a maximum of 40% propane. Higher mixes of propane must not be used in these tanks owing to its much higher pressure, particularly if allowed to become warm.
