For future reference pushing a loose nut, or in this case jet, into the socket with the socket end covered in paper will retain the nut / jet and avoid the fiddly ball ache you experienced.
good progress .....I like the way that you always do some comprehensive research into current electrical and gas safety regulations and recommendations. The electronic auto and manual switched shutoff gas valve is an excellent feature and I'm going to fit one to my Transit campervan. I bet when you were watching the hob video during editing you thought to yourself ........mmm why didn't I just turn the hob upside down to get the jet out lol
Thanks John, Truma sells a gas solenoid & switch but quite expensive. I’ve used an eBay special 12v solenoid only £12 but should do the job just the same. Hopefully it doesn’t need to be CE marked for the gas check. Haha that would be too easy.
Sorry for the late message I work nights. I’m buying a camper van with a 3.9kg calor gas bottle that’s exchangeable connected to a regulator on a flexible rubber hose which is linked to a copper pipe fitted to a Cramer 4 burner gas hob. This is only available for exchange in England. I want to travel Europe where these bottles you are selling can be refilled. Can I turn this system into lpg? If so I would like to purchase this but I have no idea where to start. Can you help me out with any tips? Thanks alot!
Hey no problem at all, sorry for the delay getting back to you! I would look at either getting a refillable LPG cylinder which will be cheaper in the long run or switching to campingaz which is widely available in Europe :)
Hi! do you have an issue with the burners and grill being able to fly off under heavy braking with that hob? It doesn’t look very safe to me, but maybe they clamp down
With this hob I never had an issue with the burners coming off. This is one of the reasons I bought it. Not sure Argos still sell it though unfortunately.
nice job and well explained. Is it ok to use a clip on bottle and regulator instead of bulkhead mounted? Do you find the loose burners and pot stand a problem when traveling?
Thank you, I’d recommend a bulkhead regulator. I’m not sure if the clip on type meet the regs but know that the bulkhead do 🤔 never had a problem with the burners coming loose when driving. Don’t think they sell this hob anymore though unfortunately.
The coil inside the solenoid valve will get warm. If you’re in the uk it’s been really hot over the past few days so could be high ambient temperature also perhaps?
I also like the way you do the research on tech stuff so that you are aware of any incorrect installation work great videos mate well done look forward to the next vid take care.
Hi, I think they were from wilko online but obviously they’re not around anymore. Looks like b&q do them though. www.diy.com/departments/mini-metro-white-self-adhesive-mosaic-tile/5060976790829_BQ.prd?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADt-XHl-Ay8ne15hlxrEK1l7EMpR4&gclid=CjwKCAiAxreqBhAxEiwAfGfndMzOcNDesRYAMWyvbQdgiQdxAMzFMEarC3SU3anKWRff8h8vF2blqxoCBdYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Good question. The 240v is for the ignition so you can ignore it if you’re not going to use an inverter. Just means you will need to use a lighter or matches 👍🏼
No problem, thanks for watching. It should have a sticker on it saying if it’s set up for NG or LPG so you just change the sticker and jets accordingly
Never a dumb question my friend. If you want to use the 230v ignition then you will need to incorporate an inverter in your electrical setup which will convert the 12v dc to 230v ac. If you didn’t want to use an inverter you can use matches or maybe look for a hob with piezo ignition.
@@weetailsy3 No worries, this is the solenoid valve I used - ebay.us/G9kw3d It has 1/4" connections so you will need some adapters. www.bes.co.uk/straight-adaptor-uk-compression-8mm-x-1-4in-6676/
@@TurnersWorkshop97 I thought as much , Unfortunately we dont have that privilege, Does anyone know of a double burner with either a pizo or battery igniter ???
