can I run 3 appliances from one gas bottle?

Normal 7kg calour gas bottle, have run the fridge in combination with the cooker before, but can I run the hot water heater as well to this?

I doubt if all three would run at the same time, but it's possible, so will the gas have enough pressure

Cheers

No problem - but, if you are running high flow units such as large burner rings, you will need to upgrade the regulator.

you'll find as well that red bottles, ie propane is better as it gases off faster than butane, particularly in colder weather. you'll need a different regulator of course for propane bottles

This is what I may up and it works fine although only 2 appliances, a 2kw Honda generator and a twin ring hob or Cadac BBQ Thumbs Up

'O' Clips and 'O' Clip pliers & 8mm Gas pipe, 8mm 'Y' connector and 8mm quick connectors like these:

And made up this:

I can plug it directly into the BBQ point of the motorhome or into this SafeFill gas canister, as the connectors are all the same it ids just plug and play in any combination. MAKE SURE you put the female end of the snap connectors on the supply end, common sense but you never know Thumbs Up

Without the 'Y' fitting:

With the 'Y' Fitting, but just one appliance, the snap fitting blocks the gas on the spare end:

Hope it helps in some way Wink
