Rate Your Hack: Regulator Adapter

Should probably use a lighter to check for leaks, too

Next time you see a foreign video about an LPG fire that burns down 3 city blocks, know this is why.

This looks like a "cooking gas cylinder," commonly found in safety-sandal land, where these kinds of "hacks" are all too common.

“It’s not your fault. It’s bad idea and you did it in a dumb way.” 😂😂😂

This job well done calls for a celebratory cigarette!

The ”hose clamp" is also stabbing the side of the hose, which acts as a quick release valve, how thoughtful! 🙂‍↕️

That so-called hose clamp was a mere threat😂

Let along, the copper will stretch

Each hose adds another layer of -possible- leaks. Plus, there’s almost no texture to that hose barb. Smooth hoses—smooth brain.

It's because of people like this I cant buy a fuel can that works

Nothing says safety like a crispy hose

I thought really hard to come up with a witty comical comment but then I realized that the video supplies all the laughs no comment needed.

Copper will stretch, copper and steel are dielectric so it's going to rust, the nut has no reason not to back out (if they'd wrapped the copper around the back side it would at least potentially helped there), and I'm pretty sure copper wire plus machine screw and nut are going to cost at least as much if not more than the proper hose clamp. In short I might use this to get heat in a polar vortex, but it's getting fixed with a proper solution as soon as the hardware store opens =)

I thought that was a hotdog when I saw the thumbnail. 😂

That last layer is desperately trying to say "I'm tired, boss"

That will work until it doesn't. About 30 seconds. Funk should given a negative score for endangering others. 👍👍🇨🇦

I was expecting them to due he trunakit twist 😅 the only way that had a tenth of a chance of werking 😆

The old guys that I knew at Columbia Gas in Ohio always checked for leaks with a Zippo lighter. 😂

The fingers always tell what type of engineer it is.
