What do I need to fit a gas BBQ outlet?

Post by sciroccotune »

Hi guys,

As my trip approaches I start to remember all the things I'm meant to have done but have forgotten!

One such thing is to work out how to connect a gas BBQ to the underslung has tank on my westy.

It has what seem to be like an additional outlet near the isolation valve but can anyone tell me a bit more about what I should look for and need?

Cheers guys :)

I think its one of those.. at least I hope it is.. I bought one for the same reason. Haven't tried it yet..

If its not I'm sure someone will put me in my place.. again.. I'm usually wrong..
I like them tall and rough.. flat fours sound the best even if its got less power than a flymo!!

Thanks bud, although my tank doesn't have an outlet for that :(

Your regulator setup looks different to the one on our van - perhaps the regulator has been replaced in the past and the BBQ point was removed when that was done.

The setup on our van looks more like this:

The BBQ point is under the plastic cap at the far left.

That's very interesting, thank you! They look very similar but I agree I'm missing the BBQ point - sad times!

Well I don't think I will have time to have a BBQ point fitted so looks like charcoal for us...


Out of interest has anyone installed a BBQ point or new regulator?

Cheers

Günzl in Germany sell new 50mbar regulator sets including the BBQ point, see here:

I wouldn't imagine that it would be too much for a gasure fitter to swap them over.

I believe the regulator does need to be 50mbar for the original Westy fridge to work properly.
