Gas system_____________________________
Stowage of the gas bottle(s) is in a remote self draining locker. A regulator is fitted
on the bulkhead adjacent to the gas bottle(s) and connected via a short flexible hose
to the gas bottle. The regulator reduces the gas pressure for the yacht's low pressure
appliance^).
The supply to the cabin is via a 3/8" copper tube protected by a 3/4"
clear plastic tube, glassed to the coaming to prevent movement. The copper pipe is
terminated near the appliance. The appliance,
normally
a cooker, is connected to
the gas pipe by a short flexible hose allowing it to move in its gimbals.
