Butane Adapters Ii

In my concluding post, I took a await at 1 of the diverse butane adapters on the market.  In this post, I'd similar to direct maintain a quick await at some other type of butane adapter, the type alongside ii legs equally shown inwards the photograph below.

This type of adapter has a larger claw that hooks onto the neckband of the butane canister as well as a second, smaller claw that fits through the notch inwards the neckband of the canister.

This type of butane adapter has a large claw (bottom) as well as a smaller claw (top).  The smaller claw fits through the notch inwards the neckband of a butane canister.

To tally the adapter onto the butane canister, nosotros plow the adapter 180 degrees from it's seat equally seen inwards the photograph above, tally the large claw over the neckband on the canister, tally the modest claw through the notch, as well as rotate the canister around 1/16th plow to the right.  We as well as then direct maintain something that looks similar the below photo.  CAUTION:  There is no valve within the butane adapter.  As presently equally you lot seat it on the canister, butane volition commence coming out.  For this photo, I used an empty canister.  In existent life, attach the stove first, as well as then attach the canister.

Now uncovering that different the butane adapter inwards my concluding spider web log post, this adapter has ii legs.  This is good.  The ii legs foreclose the canister from rolling -- which could crusade a really nasty flare.

You as well as then claw the fuel hose from your gas stove to the adapter equally shown below.

OK, hence inwards the higher upward configuration, you're all ready to go.  Uh, except for 1 picayune thing.  These adapters are shoddy junk.  Yep, the legs are the correct idea, exactly beyond that, the matter is junk.  They're liberate as well as they rattle.  Worse still, they leak.  Nice legs, exactly there's no agency that I tin recommend these.  I've seen 1 of these that was fine, exactly every other 1 of them equally been loose, shoddy junk.

Now, I got mine on eBay from a seller called Plus2City from Hong Kong.  Plus2City also appears to endure behind a yoke of other online sellers that sell this type of adapter.  All of the adapters from Plus2City as well as allied sellers appear to endure worthless (or worse, dangerous) junk.  Maybe there's some other rootage that is producing practiced character adapters of this type, exactly I haven't seen whatever yet.  Sorry to endure hence blunt, Plus2City, exactly build clean upward your act, as well as I'll seat upward a much nicer post.  What you're selling forthwith is junk at best as well as unsafe at worst.

Butane adapters of this type are definitely non recommended.
