Can I use a Heat-Flo ™ Blow Heater with Natural Gas?

Heat-Flo ™ Blow Heaters can only be used with an LPG cylinder and can not be converted for use with Natural Gas.

Which hose is supplied with a Heat-Flo ™ Blow Heater?

Each heater comes with a hose and regulator to connect to a 45kg cylinder. We do not provide any alternatives such as type 27, bayonet, or longer hoses.

Can you change or regulate the temperature on a Heat-Flo™ Blow Heater?

No. Each heater has a set gas input, so there is only 1 flame. If more or less heat is required, we have 4 different sizes available with different gas consumptions.

Why do I have to connect my Heat-Flo™ Blow heater to a 45kg cylinder?

Our blow heaters have been tested and approved to the relevant AS/NZ standards using a 45kg cylinder. Due to compliance factors in place, we would request you follow the instructions mentioned in the manual.

Can I use a hose extension for gas outlets?

We do not recommend using hose extensions as adding an extra hose on the line will increase the chance of a leak and/or breakage. Instead, replace the hose with a longer hose. At Bromic, we supply gas hoses up to 3000mm in length.

What is the Type 27 (LCC27) thread connection and how does this affect Type 21 (POL)?

In Australia, the Type 21 (POL) connection has been superseded by the LCC27 (Type 27) connection. LCC27 is now the standard connection used for leisure gas cylinder valves. Over a 10-year period, LCC27 will be phased in as old gas cylinders get re-tested and changed over. Read more

This portable cooker includes a flame failure shut-off feature for extra safety. We also have a Lido Junior Cooker suitable for boats and marine craft.
