Get to know your bottled butane - propane gas installations
Cylinder
Butane cylinder

The gas cylinder is the receptacle containing, in liquid form, the butane or propane gas. As it moves into your appliance (kitchen, heating, stove, etc.), this liquid becomes a gas. The cylinder valve should have a rubber gasket on the end to ensure it is properly connected to the regulator.


Regulator

The flexible tube joins the cylinder and regulator to your gas system or directly to your appliance. It has an expiry date.
