From 1 October 2021, gas BBQs, showers and other gas appliances are required to be fitted with new hose fittings, designed especially for a new safer connector on the bottle. You need to swap your old gas bottle for a new one to work with the new appliance. Adaptors are not permitted to be used.
You can buy a replacement gas hose YS2851 to allow you to connect an old bottle to the Athanor gas shower YS2850.
You won’t need to replace pre-2021 existing appliances, as the new connector on the bottle, known as the LCC27, will safely and easily connect to the hose on your existing appliance.
Cylinders with the old connectors – Type 21 (POL) – may continue to be used. These valves will be phased out over a ten-year period as each LPG cylinder is due for a retest or ten-year changeover.
The LCC27 connector is being introduced to improve safety and reduce the risk of BBQ fires and accidental gas leakage from LPG cylinders.
