🔧 Key Features

• High-performance 70/30 butane/propane blend ensures steady, reliable burn even in lower temperatures and at moderate altitudes—ideal for year-round outdoor use.

❓ FAQ

Q: Is this cartridge refillable?
A: No. The cartridge is designed for single use only. Resealing allows safer connection/disconnection but not refilling.

Q: Will this work in cold weather?
A: Yes. The 70/30 blend resists freezing better than pure butane. However, in extreme cold (below –10 °C), output may slow—warming the cartridge before use can help .

Q: Can I connect to non-Coleman stoves?
A: Absolutely—as long as they use the EN417/B188 threaded valve. Not suitable for Campingaz Easy‑Clic® appliances.

Q: Is it safe to disconnect during use?
A: Yes. Equipped with a double‑seal safety valve, it's entirely safe to disconnect and re-connect even when pressurized.

Q: What about altitude performance?
A: Effective at lower to moderate altitudes. For very high altitude use, check stove manufacturer’s recommendations.

Q: Are there any precautions?
A: Handle with care—gas is extremely flammable under pressure. Do not expose to heat sources, puncture, or incinerate—even when empty.

🛡️ Warranty Coverage

🚨 Safety & Handling Tips

• Storage: Store upright in a cool, dry place away from heat or flames.
