How big & heavy are the cylinders?
Gaslow cylinder sizes are 492h x 246dia for the 6Kg and 580h x 304dia for the 11Kg size. The capacities are 11.5L & 21L at 80% fill. Net weights vary, newer Gaslow bottles are individually marked on the skirt while older Gaslow and other brands may be marked on the collar. As a guide the two Gaslow refillables are 7-8Kg and 12-15Kg net. This is broadly similar to ‘Calor’ style bottles. The gas-out fitting is a screw fitting the same as the German type and our own small butane cylinders, this accepts the new style standard hoses. For problem cupboards Gaslow now accept that cutting off part of the collar (or ‘shroud’) is acceptable where the space is restricted by a sloping roof. It is also possible to save about 40mm in total height this way but only for the No1 cylinder.
