Gaslow Direct Fill LPG Cylinders offer all the advantages of a standard Gaslow refillable gas cylinder but with the added advantage of taking just the bottle to the pump to fill, particularly useful to caravan owners.
Gaslow Direct fill gas cylinders are available in either 2.7Kg, 6kg or 11kg sizes.
Gaslow Direct fill LPG cylinders come complete with a Direct Fill Valve Adapter to enable easy connection to a standard UK LPG pump. (can be used with Gaslow adaptors to enable their use abroad)
Gaslow Direct fill LPG cylinders also have an accurate Level Gauge to provide an indication of bottle contents.
The outlet of the cylinder is a 21.8LH which is normally referred to as a Butane fitting, same fitting as you would see on a 4.5kg Butane exchange cylinder, this is the hose fitting that you would connect your high-pressure regulator hose and then onto your regulator or changeover valve if used in a leisure vehicle. If you have a standard regulator hose with a POL end which is used on Propane exchange cylinders, you can add an adapter to convert to 21.8LH (01-4331) or just replace the hose.
The cylinders are manufactured from steel and are covered under Gaslow 10-year warranty.
For complete safety, the approved 80% fill stop valve automatically shut off the LPG when the cylinder is 80% full, preventing the dangers associated with overfilling.
The Gaslow 2.7kg Direct Fill cylinder carries approx. 4.5 litres at 80%. Height: 330mm to the top of the filler elbow x 203mm diameter with a weight of approx. 5.18kg. Full weight approx 7.5kg.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING THROUGHOUT THE UK & EUROPE WITH A DIRECT FILL CYLINDER, YOU MAY BE REFUSED ON GETTING REFILLED. WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND ON INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL FILL POINT TO ELIMINATE ANY REFUSALS.
IT IS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE LPG FORECOURT, THAT ALLOWS THE FILLING OF ANY REFILLABLE CYLINDER THAT IS PHYSICALLY PLACED ON THE FORECOURT TO BE FILLED, AS THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL REGULATORY DUTIES TO OBIDE TO.
DUE TO THE ILLEGAL FILLING OF EXCHANGE (CALOR & FLOGAS ETC) CYLINDERS ON LPG FORECOURTS – PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LPG STATION, TO EXPLAIN YOU HAVE A GENUINE REFILLABLE GASLOW CYLINDER, PRIOR TO VISITING FOR APPROVAL.

Gaslow Refillable LPG MultiValve Cylinder Contents Gauge
The gas contents gauge on a Gaslow Multivalve cylinder is the most accurate contents gauge you will see on any LPG gas cylinder on the market. The Gaslow Multivalve displays on a clear covered contents gauge on top of the multivalve that has a rotation of 362 degrees to give you a wide ranging reading of the contents. The contents gauge is also viewable from the top and sides, making it easy to view even in the tightest of spaces.
The contents gauge is driven by a gear and pinion system towards the float in the cylinder, much like the steering rack in your car which works on exactly the same principle.
