New Valves LCC27 are being phased in. From the 1st April 2021, Australia has a new Standard Gas cylinder valve which have been introduced for both 4kg & 8.6 kg sizes. The NEW LCC27 valve is being introduced to improve safety and reduce the risk of accidental gas leakage from LPG Cylinders.

POL (OLD). Does not have an external thread on the valve.
