Product Description
The NEW TYPE 27 (LCC27) 2 x 450mm x 1/4" Inverted Flare Flexi Pigtails and Manual Changeover Valve Kit is a gas system component kit used primarily for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or natural gas applications. This kit is designed to allow users to safely switch between two gas sources, such as two gas bottles or tanks, and ensure a continuous supply of gas. Below are the key details and specifications of the kit:
Key Features:
-
Type 27 (LCC27) Design:
- The kit is based on the Type 27 or LCC27 configuration, which is a standard design used in LPG and natural gas systems for safe and efficient gas management. It ensures a reliable connection between gas cylinders and appliances.
-
Flexi Pigtails:
- The kit includes 2 x 450mm x 1/4" inverted flare flexi pigtails. These flexible hoses are designed to connect the gas cylinders or tanks to the rest of the system.
- The 1/4" inverted flare connectors ensure a tight, secure connection that prevents gas leakage, which is essential for safety.
- The 450mm length provides flexibility in installation and allows for easier adjustments in tight spaces.
-
Manual Changeover Valve:
- The kit comes with a manual changeover valve that allows the user to switch between two gas cylinders or tanks.
- Manual operation means the user must manually turn the valve to switch between gas sources, ensuring that when one gas cylinder runs empty, the system automatically starts drawing from the second tank without any interruption in gas supply.
-
Unassembled Kit:
- The kit is supplied unassembled, meaning that the components (flexi pigtails, changeover valve, etc.) will need to be assembled before installation.
- This gives the user or installer flexibility in how the system is set up and ensures that the components are carefully arranged to suit the specific requirements of the installation.
-
Durability and Safety:
- The components of the kit are designed with durability in mind, built to withstand the conditions of high-pressure gas systems.
- Safety features include secure connections, the ability to manage gas flow, and ensuring no leakage between the gas cylinder and appliances.

- 2 x 450mm x 1/4" Inverted Flare Flexi Pigtails
- 1 x Manual Changeover Valve
- Unassembled Components for assembly during installation.
- Flexi Pigtail Dimensions:
- Length: 450mm
- Diameter: 1/4"
- Type of connection: Inverted flare (for secure gas connections)
- Manual Changeover Valve:
- Allows for switching between two gas bottles/cylinders.
- Designed for manual operation (not automatic).
- Application:
- Suitable for use in residential or commercial gas supply systems where LPG or natural gas is used, particularly in situations requiring manual switching between two gas sources.
- Commonly used for BBQ systems, hot water heaters, heating systems, and other gas-powered appliances.
Applications:
-
Dual Gas Cylinder Systems:
- This kit is ideal for systems where two gas cylinders or tanks are used to ensure an uninterrupted supply of gas.
- The manual changeover valve ensures that when one cylinder runs out, the other automatically kicks in, providing a seamless transition between gas supplies.
-
Outdoor and Commercial Use:
- This kit is well-suited for use in outdoor applications like BBQs or cooking appliances that rely on LPG gas, as well as in commercial kitchens or other environments requiring continuous gas supply.
-
Residential LPG Systems:
- For homes that rely on LPG for heating, cooking, or hot water, this kit provides a safe and reliable way to manage gas cylinders and ensures the home never runs out of gas unexpectedly.
Considerations:
-
Assembly:
- Since the kit is unassembled, the user will need to assemble the components before installation. If you're unfamiliar with gas systems, it is advisable to seek professional help for installation to ensure that all connections are properly secured and the system is leak-free.
-
Manual Operation:
- The manual changeover valve means the user needs to manually turn the valve to switch between gas sources. This requires regular monitoring to ensure the system switches over at the appropriate time, particularly when one gas cylinder runs out.
-
Safety:
- Always ensure that the connections are tight and secure before using the system to prevent any potential gas leaks.
- Test the system after installation for leaks by using soapy water on the connections and checking for bubbles.
-
Regulatory Compliance:
- Ensure the system and installation meet local gas regulations and standards. Some regions may require professional installation or certification for gas systems.
Conclusion:
The NEW TYPE 27 (LCC27) 2 x 450mm x 1/4" Inverted Flare Flexi Pigtails and Manual Changeover Valve Kit provides a practical solution for dual gas cylinder systems, ensuring reliable gas supply for various LPG or natural gas applications. The unassembled kit offers flexibility in installation, and with its manual changeover valve, it guarantees an uninterrupted gas supply when one tank runs out. Whether used in residential, commercial, or outdoor settings, this kit offers a safe, durable, and flexible option for managing your gas supply system.
