Portable Buddy Heater

G'day Alex,

Nope!  You are absolutely fine to run the Mr Heater Portable Buddy Heater from the Coleman hose you've got, they dont need a regulator for LPG bottles.

G'day Maria,

Thank for the question. The general rule with gas canisters is to store them outside of the van, maybe you have an external storage box that you can keep them in?

G'day John,

No need to worry about a regulator, all you need to run the Buddy Heater from an LPG bottle is the Coleman High-Pressure Gas Hose. 

G'day Anthony,

You can run the Portable Buddy Heater from 9kg bottle using the Coleman High-Pressure Gas Hose in the 'You Might Also Like' drop-down menu. 

G'day Lisa,

The Portable Buddy Heater can be connected to a 4.5/4.8 or 9kg gas bottle with POL fitting using the Coleman Gas Hose Coleman/BOM/UNEF to POL.

G'day Jo, 

It is not recommended to use the Mr Buddy Heater in a caravan, even with an alarm as it is not designed for safe use in confined spaces. 

G'day Nadine,

We don't currently stock the Mr Heater Big Buddy I'm sorry to say. Without having one in front of me I wouldn't be able to safely work out exactly what you might need. 

G'day Sim,

Unfortunately, due to regulations, we don't have any gas hoses for the Mr Heater Portable Buddy Heater than are longer than 1.5m.

G'day Phil,

We don't stock the Big Buddy as an everyday product but might be able to get one in as a special order for you. Feel free to give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and our customer service team will be able to help you out. 

Hi Kate, a 20lb or 9kg bottle will usually have a POL fitting, if so the Primus POL Cylinder Hose Kit will do the trick for you. Other cylinders will have a 3/8 BSP for which you would need the Primus 3/8 Cylinder Hose Kit.

We need to come back and update some details here. It seems that the recent Buddy heaters have a slightly modified gas attachment resulting in the hoses mentioned above no longer working. This is most likely due to the depth of the central pin not being long enough to depress the gas release valve inside the hose. Good news is that Coleman has almost identical hoses that do work, you can see the POL hose here and the 3/8 BSP hose here.

G'day Karen, 

All you'll need is a Cylinder Hose Kit with a POL fitting from Primus to use the Mr Heater Portable Buddy Heater with a 9kg gas bottle.
