Gas cylinder and valve
Gas cylinder and valve
by Keepam » Sat Nov 26, 2022 9:29 am
As we get older,we find difficulty in removing and replacing the regulator valve to the gas bottle. Many years ago the ferreteira by hotel in Los Montesinos sold them but no more. A simple leverage machine that got over problem of lifting and pushing at the same time. Very tricky for a woman's hand. Anyone got one or any ideas where to find such. Using washing up liquid helps. So any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

Yep, washing up liquid works for me, a little in the pipe as well as on regulator

We had a similar problem. It was the pushing down of the collar that was the problem. We thought someone would have a gadget or advice but we couldn't find any.
We bought two large chisels. Wrapped tape around the opposite end to the sharp bits and now we just pull up the rubber collar and put it on the top of the bottle. Then we put the sharp end of the chisels through the hand holds on the bottle onto the top of the collar and pull upwards.. Sounds tricky but isn't, it makes it so much easier.

Vaseline around the washer on the bottle and around the inner ring and ball bearings so much easier,
