Butane and Propane are similar gases. Because of their similar characteristics, many domestic appliances are designed to run on either. However, the standard supply pressure for each is different. That's why low-pressure regulators are available. The cylinders will usually be labeled with the type of gas they are intended to run on. These regulators can also be used for butane barbecues. However, there are some important differences between the two types of regulators.

Propane and Butane gas have different boiling points. Propane is colder than butane, so they need different regulators. Propane bottles can be used year-round, but butane is more volatile in cold temperatures. Propane bottles, on the other hand, can be used in all seasons. However, you should always remember that butane gas bottle regulators are different than propane cylinder regulators.

Propane and Butane are both flammable, odorless, and have different sizes. Propane bottles have a screw-on regulator while Butane bottles have a clip-on style regulator. Propane bottles are generally smaller than butane bottles and will require a lower-pressure regulator. To avoid leaking, make sure you check the label on the bottle before using it. However, make sure you know what kind of regulator you need for your Patio Gas appliance.
