Cadac 8mm Handwheel Assembly Tailpiece

The Cadac 8 mm Handwheel Assembly Tailpiece is a brass valve tail-piece that significantly simplifies connecting a gas hose to your Cadac 8 mm low-pressure BBQ. Here’s a concise 300‑word overview:

🛠️ Design & Build

The tailpiece combines a ¼″ left-hand BSP brass tail, a blue plastic handwheel, and a ribbed 8 mm hose barb. Measuring approximately 65 mm in length and weighing about 50 g, it is built to endure outdoor environments.

Its uniform left-hand thread is standard across Cadac low-pressure models (Safari Chef, Carri Chef, Grillo Chef, etc.), ensuring seamless fitment. The ribbed hose spigot secures hoses effectively when used with a hose clamp.

🔧 User-Friendliness

The standout feature is the plastic handwheel, enabling effortless tool-free attachment and detachment of hoses—great for campsite convenience or quick swaps. Users consistently praise its ease-of-use:
“Makes coupling and uncoupling the gas hose effortless”.

✅ Pros

• Tool-free hose changes – fast and hassle‑free setup/breakdown.

• Universal compatibility – fits all Cadac 8 mm low-pressure appliances.

• Sturdy brass and plastic build – durable yet lightweight (≈50 g).

• Secure hose grip – ribbed barb with clamp ensures leak-free seal.

⚠️ Considerations

• Clamp required – hose clamp not included; essential for a solid connection.

• Brass body may barber slightly – tighten handwheel firmly to avoid leaks.

🏆 Final Verdict

For owners of Cadac low-pressure BBQs, the Handwheel Assembly Tailpiece is a small but impactful upgrade: it streamlines setup, bolsters safety, and reduces the need for tools. Durable and effective, it’s ideal for campers, caravanners, and backyard chefs seeking convenience in their gas cooking gear.
