Cadac Threaded Cartridge Regulator QR

🛡️ Overview & Design

The Cadac Threaded Cartridge Regulator QR enables Cadac’s low-pressure QR BBQs (e.g., Safari Chef 30 LP QR, 2 Cook 3 Pro QR) to run on EN417-standard threaded gas cartridges instead of bulky bottles. It features a built-in 30 mbar pressure regulator, an 85 cm gas hose, and a Cadac-style quick-release coupling with self-sealing valve for safe and tool-free appliance connection .

⚙️ Build Quality & Setup

The regulator screws directly onto 445 g or 500 g threaded gas cartridges, forming a secure connection without adapters. The 85 cm reinforced hose ends in a quick-release coupling that clicks onto your BBQ’s ¼″ BSP inlet—without tools. Constructed with brass fittings and durable components, it’s made for prolonged outdoor use. The quick-release valve automatically stops gas flow when disconnected—ideal for mid-cook swaps or safety on the move .

💬 Performance & Feedback

Reviewers say it “simply clips on or off” and is “top quality”—even enabling professional-grade cooking setups with confidence. Amazon users echo, “Easy to use and good quality,” and describe it as “what we needed for our Cadac to work”. It has a perfect 4.8/5 rating on Cadac’s site from eight reviewers .
