If a customer purchases a new appliance with a new LCC27 hose connection, they will need to replace or swap their old LPG cylinder to a new one with an LCC27 (Type 27) valve. If a customer purchases a new cylinder with an LCC27 valve, they can still connect it with an LPG appliance (or hose assembly) that has the old POL connection as it is backwards compatible.

When gas is supplied for the first time or by a new supplier, the gas supplier must ensure that a test point is located on or immediately downstream from the regulator. This should be used to test for leaks and to pressure test the system.

If a customer purchases a new gas appliance with the LCC27 connection, they must replace or swap out their old LPG cylinder (with a POL valve) to one with a LCC27 connection.

Gas adaptors are used to connect hoses that have different connection types. Bromic gas adaptors are made from brass and are designed to withstand the rigours of use in many different applications.

We have replacement thermocouples for Bromic appliances as well as a range of universal thermocouples with different hose lengths.

Heat-Flo™ Tile Heaters with more tiles generate more heat and therefore use more gas. Below are estimations on how long each heater runs for:
