Hey there.
I haven't tried one myself, but see from this thread on brick yard

Gas tank BBQ quick-connectors and other gas bits

8840
Nozzle only for quick release coupling
Now the gas regulator on me Westy is 50mbar, but I think most UK gas appliances are 30mbar. Does anyone know if it matters? I thought about connecting a gas burner outside so I can fry greasey things without greasing up the interior of the van... will the flames just be bigger with the 50mbar feed?

8840 tis the beasty......
Problem is you will have to pay a minimum postal charge on this one cheap item that bumps the price up considerably...
I bought mine from my local Caravan Dealer (Lowdham Leisure World) and I'm told this is a commonly used part so most good caravan part stockists should have them.
I bought 6 meters of gas grade pipe from Tennant Rubber (was the cheapest place) this length enables the BBQ to be placed sliding door side a good 6-7ft away from the van.
Note* Westy regulator is 500millibar (slightly higher pressure than our UK standard) but works absolutely fine (without any additional regulator) on my Cadac. I've read other posts where users did the same with various makes of BBQ's.
