Total newb question regarding gas

Hi guys. I have an Eriba 310gt and this is my first ever caravan. I am officially clueless. I’ve bought a 7kg flogas cylinder and want to connect it to my van but it would appear I have two female screw in connectors both ends, one on the pipe that is connected to the caravan and one on the gas cylinder. What do I need to get to connect them up? Thanks and apologies for what must be a total dumb question!!

Your Flogas cylinder is Propane but the pigtail is for a Butane cylinder.

You need to fit a 450mm length Propane pigtail.

Worth buying the correct size propane spanner if you haven't already got one.

The nut which fits to the regulator is a standard right-hand thread but the cylinder connection is a left-hand thread, ie anti-clockwise to screw on, clockwise to remove.

Oh. So if I’d just bought butane I would have been ok? What a twit. Thanks!

Propane burns better at lower temperatures so it's better to use if you camp in colder times.

The sealing washer on the end of your Butane pigtail looks perished so that would need replacing anyway.

Both types of pigtail have a seal on the regulator end - make sure it's correctly in position before fitting.
