EN 417

Pierceable gas cylinder

Gas cylinder with Lindal B188 valve.

EN 417 is a European specification concerning non-refillable metallic cartridges for liquefied petroleum gases.

More colloquially and improperly it is used to refer to the 7/16" NS threaded valve used on disposable butane and/or butane/isobutane/propane mix cartridges used for backpacking stoves. The correct name for this valve is Lindal B188 valve, after the manufacturer.

Common suppliers of gas cylinders and camp stoves are Epigas (Coleman), GoSystem, Primus, Brunton, Jetboil, Snow Peak, and many others.
