Mac Coupler

If you can't work out the connections do you really think you should be illegally decanting gas, I've seen the results of when it goes bad and it's not pretty, Rhys.

Hi thekernel,

The Mac coupler is designed to fill only Coleman throw away gas bottles mate.These bottles cost about $8-00 and are green.A Coleman heater (cat type )will run for about 7 hrs on one bottle.

Rather a waste of money in the light of their being illegal in Australia.

There appears to be a bit of confusion, or scare mongering from comments on this post.

Using a MAC Coupler to refill Coleman disposable cylinder(s) from a larger gas cylinder is a perfectly safe procedure providing you follow the instructions that come with the Coupler.

thekernel,

If you are intending to use the MAC Coupler to refill a Coleman Cylinder and only have the problem of converting from a 3/8" fitting to a POL fitting on the "donor" cylinder the the POL threads are standard and will therefore work "straight out of the packet".

I have four "disposable" Coleman Cylinders I refill via the MAC Coupler and the process is perfectly straight forward and safe.


Bill.
