Propane gas prices

[ziggy]

Folks,

How much would you expect to pay for disposable Propane gas cartridges to fit a Rothenberger?

Any tips on best place to buy as you can get them online for around 6 quid but then the postage puts them up to around 12 quid which is similar to what B&Q, etc, charge anyway.

[HoodedClaw]

yes please 😉 Time to stop lugging my 13kg tank around. though the torch and hose does fit in tighter places.

thanks - I'll go get one - Also seen other longer adaptors for refilling the cylinders which have a 'safety valve', i presume its a pressure relief valve, but don't the disposables all have one anyway or is that just the rothys?

 

[REDSAW]

wish i was the bloke who invented that,
£20 what a rip off but i am interested in the theory and might get one.
any one with any more threads on the gear?.
