 ;D yeh certain of it, I have brass hozelock connections on mine. by the way for your hose between l5 and hose reel dont buy end stop connections because they were restricting water flow on mine so l5 would not fire up. changed them for "flow through" ends and now no problems. the gas fitting l5 end comes with it just swap the regulator on the other end of the hose/pipe.

someone mentioned elsewhere about buying a regulator with a gauge on so you can see when your gas bottle is nearly empty, not a bad idea.

dunno marcus took mine to the local plumb centre,told em what i wanted to do and they fixed me up with fittings to suit(if memory serves me right it was in the region of about £20.00 in fittings)just take some brass hozelock connections with you and they should sort it all out to suit.it sounds a bind but it does save trawling through b&Q/homebase etc and probably works out cheaper imo.just about to post this when a new post came up about the level of gas in a bottle,check out hombases one from bp/fibreglass bottle that you can see the level of gas in it
