HI Guys

I have a Drifta DPOR and a Primus 3 burner cooker. The issue I have is that the Primus cooker has the gas inlet on the LH side, so when you connect the gas hose in it does not fit in the spot where the cooker should go.

SO what I need is a 90Deg T to allow me to connect the tee into the cooker and have more room.

Question is, i cant find one. Well not sure where to look.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you get around it?

if you were in sydney i believe the best place to go would be a mob called GAMECO on parramatta rd auburn. i haven't found anything yet that they didn't have or weren't willing to make.
i haven't checked but they probably are on the net.
if it's of any use if you get stuck send me a couple of pics of what you need and i'll duck over to them and pick it up and post to you.
by the sounds of it they would have what you need but i'm sure a gas centre close to you would have them to.

On the drifta web site they show you how to reverse the outlet on a three burner stove in the FAQ section, just not quite sure if the three burner primus is the same. We have the three burner Companion stove that Drifta can supply, and it only just fits without reversing the outlet, the hose is on a pretty tight bend, but not too tight that i'm not happy with it tht way.

Lemo.

Nope can't reverse the primus one due to latch arrangement. GQcamper, i will send a pic, i will have a look at my local Purple Pig and see if there is anything there i can get.

Just one more piece of the puzzle..

Try your local industrial welding supplies place.
If they make up hoses they should be able to sort you out.
