Terry Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 do know but they are easy to make find an old BBQ cut the hose off find an old propane soldiering torch take the flame nozzle off and shove the metal pipe up the hose and clamp it you now have two male end large to small adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattletrap2 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Like Terry says, easy enough to make....but kind of scarey. I don't know that they are legal in Canada though. It wouldn't take much to overfill the small cans. They do have a pressure relief of sorts, but hydrostatic pressure is not something to mess around with. Just be careful, and don't fill beyond 80% of the stated capacity on the can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 yeah, I don't think they are legal in canada I have used them for years I aways used the 20lb cylinder for a BBQ or 2 before I use it to refill the small cylinders what you are really doing is equalizing the pressure in the 2 cylinders years ago we would put one of them in the freezer before we hooked them up. but I can't remember which one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 You want to put the empty tank in the freezer, Terry. I wonder if this adaptor could be used so that you could use a small bottle if your 20 lb tank runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsa Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Yes, I have heard of that technique of putting the bottles in the freezer for refilling, but since the cost of them simply outweighs the possible danger, I figger, screw it, I just buy them.
