LCC27 Adaptor Should Be Avoided: Get SWAP’n’GO LCC27 Gas Bottles Instead
Some people might be tempted to use an LCC27 to POL adaptor when they get a new LCC27 BBQ but have an old POL gas bottle.
An LCC27 adaptor should be avoided as it can be prone to leaks, with left and right-hand threads on the same connection.
Also, whilst you can get a POL to LCC27 adapter at Bunnings or other BBQ supply stores, you can save money by simply swapping your old POL gas bottle for full SWAP’n’GO LCC27 gas bottles at the same SWAP’n’GO prices.
In addition, LCC27 adaptors are banned in WA whilst the QLD, VIC, TAS, NT and SA state governments have posted warnings against LCC27 adaptor use. This follows a homeowner receiving severe burns resulting from a gas cylinder fire in Western Australia whilst using an LCC27 adaptor. The injured person was hospitalised for further treatment.
