Cadac Bayonet Cartridge Adaptor

The Cadac Bayonet Cartridge Adaptor is a compact yet highly practical accessory that enhances the flexibility of your outdoor cooking setup. Designed to convert standard 227g bayonet-style gas cartridges into an EN417 threaded connection, this adaptor allows Cadac high-pressure appliances—such as the Safari Chef HP—to run on a more affordable and readily available fuel source.

Design and Functionality

This adaptor is lightweight, portable, and extremely easy to use. It screws directly onto Cadac’s threaded cartridge regulators (such as models 343, 344, or 346) or can be fitted underneath a compatible HP barbecue. Once installed, you simply attach a 227g bayonet gas cartridge, commonly found in outdoor and camping stores across the UK and Europe. The adaptor forms a secure seal and provides a stable connection for consistent gas flow.

A key safety feature is the built-in automatic shut-off valve. This ensures that gas flow is stopped immediately upon detachment of the cartridge, preventing leaks and enhancing user safety. The overall build quality is solid, with reliable metal threads and a well-engineered fitting system that locks into place without fuss.

Practical Benefits

The Cadac Bayonet Cartridge Adaptor is particularly useful for those who value portability and cost-efficiency. Bayonet cartridges are often lighter, cheaper, and easier to source than EN417 threaded gas canisters. This makes the adaptor an ideal solution for backpackers, campers, and festival goers who want to travel light without compromising on cooking capabilities.

Verdict

For Cadac users who want maximum fuel flexibility without carrying bulky gas bottles, the Bayonet Cartridge Adaptor is an essential accessory. It's reliable, safe, and enables the use of widely available cartridges, making it a worthwhile investment for any outdoor cooking enthusiast looking to streamline their gear.
