Patio gas is distinct from propane in that it's a specific type of LPG that has been developed specifically for outdoor use. It can be propane or butane. Both work equally well and can be used to power outdoor appliances such as grills and patio heaters however propane is better in colder temperatures, in which butane could struggle.

This is important as the temperature of the appliance can greatly affect the rate that gas is released, which in turn can cause damage or even a fire. The regulator is connected to the cylinder using clips-on or screw-in regulators according to the type of cylinder and bottle you purchased.

The regulators connect to the cylinder head by either a clip or screw in connection depending on the bottle size and the type (see below for more details).
