As there really doesn't seem to be an adapter which converts Campingaz lanterns to run on screw thread canisters (presumably Campingaz want you to use only their gas with their lanterns! If relying on a gas stove you are invariably looking for an EN417 canister with a lindal valve with screw thread.

I have spent days trying to sort out an issue, and your site finally gave me the complete answer I needed to hear (I believe). If you read the guide below and learn about the alternatives, there are some tricks to get around the problem. There are adpters that can make a Lindal stove use CampinGaz canister but, so far, no adapters that will take Lindal canisters and make them work with CampinGaz stoves.

Alternatively there are adapters that will enable a ‘standard’ backpacking stove with a lindal connector to be used with these canisters. These taller butane canisters are narrow and unstable if they are used with a canister top stove rather than a remote stove. Please can you tell me of there is an alternative to the CV270 Campingaz canister for use with the Campingaz Bleuet CV270L lantern.

But the camping gaz non threaded attachment is superior to using the partly threaded tlcut thread on threaded cans ? However, if the regulator you’ve bought is compatible with the smaller screw-on canisters then I imagine it would work just fine. Hello Jools, I’m looking for a camping stove adapter, and you are claiming that you are using an “Kovea TKA-9504” butane gas adapter. Why has no-one done a female screw in to easy clic…or has Camingaz got some patent strangle hold on this way round? These can be used with the CV270 (355g/230g gas, now discontinued), CV300 Plus (330g/240g gas) and CV470 Plus (550g/450g gas) canisters.I contacted Campingaz to see if they have an adapter so that I could use the screw on canisters like the Number 5 example you show that are readily available in various sizes here.

This does not get a great deal of use from me and I suspect the reliance on plastic parts may result in a failure one day. You must remember that these connections effect a gas seal with the o ring fitted in the female fittings, so you must ensure that you don't compromise this seal by damaging either the o ring or the blue plastic clamping mechanism.Plus, I’ve included details of some little known adaptors that will allow you to use any gas cylinder on your camping stove and three stoves that will take more than type of canister. Campingaz were bought out by Coleman in 1996 and various branding can be seen on Easy Clic canisters but the bright blue Campingaz are the commonest by far. This is a simple and efficient adapter that enables often significantly cheaper gas canisters to be used with a ‘standard’ backpacking stove.

By utilising an adapter with a stove for which such use is not recommended this could potentially adversely affect the performance of a stove, or worse. They’re mostly just mentioned here to highlight another type of canister that might otherwise confuse.Where perhaps a slightly increased or heavier load is carried- cycle, motorcycle, canoe and especially by car, take an adapter, or two, or three!
