The Easiest & Quickest Method Of Removing A Gas Cylinder Valve

I'm making a new air tank receiver for my compressor. This video shows the easiest and quickest method of unscrewing the gas cylinder/bottle valve.
In the next video I show how to convert the valve into 1/4 BSP to fit the new air line connections.

That's a good trick! I like Rob (Xynudu's) nickname for a propane cylinder used for this... He calls it "a bucket of air" as it can be use portably when a compressor may not be possible and you only need a bit of air.
Thanks for sharing!

Patience pays off for sure . Thanks for the demonstration!! I am planning to do the same thing to increase my air capacity. Again thank you very much and looking forward to your next video

[@jdmccorful]

A good fix, like it! Enjoyed watching.

Good idea Steve.

Thanks Steve, Good Tip

Thank you Steve.

[@Alex_NL]

Thanks, works great !

Nice video, thanks

Steve, If you are going to reuse lpg or butane cylinders in this way you should ‘inert’ the cylinder by filling with water and leaving to stand for a while then emptying and drying.
This is the safe process as used in the gas industry.
Ideally a prod tool should have been used to vent the residual gas before the valve is removed.

[@amanofmanyparts9120]

As you say: 'Wash' out the gas, then you can turn the cylinder into a wood burner. With the standard base it has a steady foot print and, with a side exit chimney, the top can have a plate welded to it to give you an hot plate for heating water, food, etc.

Cheers Steve, this method just worked for me perfectly :)
@alex - good advice re the "prod tool". I just found sticking an allen key in the remnants of the valve to depress the little release mechanism worked a charm and there was indeed some residual gas in there. With the valve off it's now full of water and will let it stand for a couple of days before doing any cutting.
@amanofmanyparts - this is exactly what I'm planning to do with it, except hopefully also with some pipework around the outside so it can heat water like a basic back-boiler. that's the plan anyway, let's see what reality thinks of it ;)

looking forward to this project. I hope top make an air receiver also

[@aaasss1908]

Great idea thanks

[@markopolo5695]

Thanks for the video, I'm hoping to make a garden burner and was a bit worried about getting the valve off

[@christophercrouch8847]

Thank you

[@edjharris1]

LoL i like how you loosed it up first before you turned it the first time,. Who got it started for ya ???? Good one 😅

[@SteveJordan]

Thanks Madam

[@Mexmanix]

Simple idea Steve; Ooops you scratched the kitchen floor, SWMBO won't be pleased. ;D.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Steve,
Nice tip there... will you be filming the air tank receiver project for us?
Cheers.
Paul,,

[@SteveJordan]

Hi Paul yes I'm doing the video now....it should be on TH-cam tomorrow. Regards Steve

[@noanoa4283]

Cool

[@PatGilliland]

Clever - here I was thinking you were going to smack it with a sledge.

[@daveys]

Just like on The ‘A’ Team!

[@davidcaple5547]

Steve, at 00:37 you say it unscrews "clockwise" (left hand thread) but then unscrew it anti-clockwise (normal thread)! :) Other than that good video, I'm just about to tackle this on 3 Calor cylinders.

[@SteveJordan]

Thanks, yes my mistake Regards Steve

[@darren990]

im making a air compressor after taking that valve out the bottle i should was out with water
and dry and poor in anti rust paint to coat inside .am i right there thanks

[@SteveJordan]

I just wash mine out with water and washing up liquid. I have had one for about 12 years and it's still going fine.

[@darren990]

[@silverfoxred]

Spanner size 29 mm ?

[@jpsimon206]

Why not just use a basin wrench?

[@adsaccuracy]

That is a right hand tread, not left?

[@hermannalberts6038]

Remember to ceck if the bottle is empty … and do not smoke while doing this.. otherwise there will be a short firework!

[@HappyHands.]

I probably would of taken the container to a LP store or Gas company and had them remove or reclaim the gasses safely.
