Hi All, I picked up an old Companion safari 1700 and I'm struggling to find a bottle to fit what is already there. I tried getting a new house but 3/8th and 1/4 inch fittings were all a no go. I know that the old Companion bottles will fit it but they are hard to find. Preferably I'd use a modern swap and go with it just for ease of filling etc. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Conner Nice solid stove those. BCF or similar sell an adaptor from a companion hose to a standard POL fitting although the pressure may be different affecting performance slightly. Did your stove come with the collapsible stand? Regards Scott B
Hi Scot, Cheers, I took it to BCF and couldn't find any adapted or hose that actually fit onto the stove side. The only fittings were 1/4in and 3/8th in which didn't seem to screw on. It didn't come with the stand no. But also I found a bottle that's compatible with the current hose. Not sure if anywhere will fill an old bottle for me though. May be unsafe?
Hi Conner Can you not just purchase another companion bottle? I too have been running on old bottles that will soon be empty and are to old to fill, The POL adapter I meant goes on the gas bottle end of the hose. To fit standard swap n go bottles See image Regards Scott B
What is the fitting that goes on this stove called? Im tringle to find a new hose to use the small 1pds bottles
I have the same stove. I would just get a new gas line made up using your existing fittings. Professionally, not with hose clamps ( hose clamps might not fit under the stove).
