allow about two weeks for delivery,in the meantime you need a flow restrictor from rs componponents
code fs3.r1/4 thread 0.95 lpm-thats from the box i got mine in and buy a couple of tap washers for this,and some brass hoselock connections,to be fair if there is anyone to ask about this guys, its nat he help me soooo much in fitting mine-it works atreat now you can see the differnce it makes to cleaning,as a plus when trad you always have hot water to hand ;D.the l5 is not the be all and end all heater but for a low price its good to have,as an aside i've had the hose from the l5 to the hosereel burst twice due to heat and high pressure-am now going to use washing machine hose as it should withstand the heat more-its a learning curve :Doh i forgot to mention the heater comes with the wrong regulator you need a new one for lpg(red gas bottle)

Chris

I think we should drive over to Yarmouth and check out Tonys ;)

He's had his for a few weeks and can show us how he set it up.

Well ive thought long and hard about the L5 and ive decided to get on board.It would be silly not to at that price.I was tempted last year,but like most on here was sceptical about how good it would perform.Anyway the feed back has convinced me.This forum is invaluable with the wealth of experience and advice that is given.Thanks Chaps :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Why do you need a flow restricter

If youve got a varistream then you can have just a dribble or full flow
